Nevada Falls from the Mist trail.
Mist is definitely an understatement in spring, we
were completely soaked.

Note the little marmot on the right side...
|
 |
| Here is our cutie. |
| It was a hard hike. She actually fell
asleep within seconds. And still two hours to go...

...and a ghost town, 10,000 feet above
sea level, 6 months covered with snow. |

Camping
|
|
|
Despite an exquisite selection of engineers including
a bunch of PhDs our group had serious trouble putting
up some of the tents.
|
Nevertheless the evening
was fun. The first highlight was the chili-bomb that
some enemy agent planted into our campfire. Gladly there
were no casualties, just chili splattered all over our
equipment. Glad I did not bring my tent and my stuff
was not left outside. |
|
 |
The second highlight
was the bear. The black box on the left is a bear locker,
so the bear was OK size. Luckily, the box was closed,
but someone left food outside on the other camp site,
despite all the warnings. Sorry bear, you are not to
blame. |
After we chased the bear away, we recovered some
of stuff he got. That is how the 'After Eights' looked.
