Cannon ass kiss country.

well you're on top of light colored folded sedimentary rocks (dolomite?) with an igneous intrusion in the background, but looking east it immediately drops to rolling foothills, but without significant tree coverage.

Answer: I don't have a friggin' clue. MT front range somewhere around Old Man of the Hills?

i think it was from the taco bell we grabbed in pueblo while on our way out of town

I mean everyone that comes after you!

I spend enough time in Medicine Bow thst I recognize your last pictures and have fished some of the same lakes.

Wait mine? I didn't post a single photo from the Medicine Bow as I've never been there.

alpine unhappiness

convinced my wife to do an overnighter up in this basin with a wet cold forecast by telling her we'd bring the hot tent.


start setting up the tent and can't find the stakes

when i told her just realized the stakes are in the truck:


rain in the forecast, low 40's at night. no tent.
spent a couple hours hiking back down and enjoyed a night of car camping with a fire.

I drove past the trailhead to this little known shangri-la on my Yukon hunt. Going to have to go back and check it out before the knees get too bad.

dude, you gotta MacGyver that shit and whittle some stake out of the fir or just weigh it down with rocks! No need to make the nice lady cry

I'm going to have to get a better camera when I do. If anyone can take a bad picture in the all day long low light conditions near the artic circle, it would be me!

Only one problem taking a hot tent to the alpine. Firewood.

I found several others, but they're just generally my complaints with hot tents...
