i was going to try to summit lolo peack today with niels, derek's cousin
he's young, a rock climber, and like 6'7" or something crazy tall like that

huckleberries, i think

look at him go!

he knows so much about nature it was fun to learn a bunch of new things
i think this is a BURL in a tree?
wood carvers like them...

carlton lake?

OMG the rocks.  there were so many
it was so hard for me to go up and through and around these

SNOW!

holy crap.
SCREE.

more snow

lake down below
we took a wrong path and didn't go towards lolo peak, but instead ended up on another ridge
we wouldn't have made it there for another 2-3 hours =(

still smiling though
