Winter Backpacking Trip

[Mr.Mike]

Took a much needed weekend trip alone out into the forest for some winter fun. I love winter Backpacking. No bugs, no thick brush to smash through, and you can drag your gear in a sled instead of carrying it. Had a great time. Enjoyed my pipes in peace next to the fire. Temps were 12 degrees F daytime and 0 F at night.

Man that’s great, Mike. Thanks for sharing this. The solitude and your pipe and camp coffee by a warm fire ?. Outstanding!

Most excellent!

Sometimes I miss the cold but then I go somewhere that's cold and remember why I live in a desert.

I love it! Nothing makes one more thankful for every little luxury than winter backpacking.

My first wife and I used to go winter camping in the Blue Ridge, pack snow around the tent to keep our heat in, and spend the day preventing frost bite and hypothermia. That was right before she went completely nuts and took off. The latest wife prefers hotels and luxury spas, and she has yet to go nuts.

Ha ha, looks wonderful!!

They’re all nuts. There are no unicorns. If you find one that never complains, watches football, lets you smoke in the house... better check her medical history - that’s a dude.

Glad you enjoyed it...I personally hate winter, can't stand snow, and would rather stab myself in the eye with a stingray barb, but glad you liked it.

Being a redhead myself, I tend to attract redheads. It's just a matter of separating the ones who want to make more redheaded babies, from the ones who want to just have fun, ha ha. We are all crazy, I just prefer Dr Seuss Crazy to Charlie Manson crazy.

With all the Norad, NOAA, and Doppler radars we have, we still have a day when we talk to damned rat to see if it's going to snow or not, ha ha.

Con todos los radares Norad, NOAA y Doppler que tenemos, todavía tenemos un día en el que hablamos con la maldita rata para ver si va a nevar o no, ja, ja.
