Olympic National Park Ski Backpack

May 22nd-May 25th 2008. Skied Hurricane Hill with Scott one day, camped at the Dungenous Spit campground, then met up with Phil and Martina, backpacked in on Obstruction Point Road and SKIED for a couple days. Gorgeous!

ALL OF THESE PICTURES WERE TAKEN BY SOMEONE ELSE! Except for the bear. Some from Scott, some from Phil. The first day of backpacking was so rainy, I threw my camera back in the car, as all I had was the big SLR at the time. I was lucky it didn't get stolen.
