Larch MT. out and back then over to Ainsworth loop area to catch the 400 up to Russ Jolley out and back. Rained. Pictures at the end are out of order again even though I tried to make everyone's different camera dates and times the same :))

OMG, I finally figured out how to make everyone's different date and time stamps all the same in Winblows so the pictures will stay in the order I upload them into WH!!! WOO HOO!!! ❤❤❤❤❤ @ Kyle! :))

6:25 AM Starting at MFL w/ my TFF's 4AEA Season open!! or is it open season... Close up on Mayhem's antlers I thought this was so funny that I took another blury picture of it... I'm really tall today, last week I was really short... Being apeish on S Point Thumpers turn with the critter effect... FS temporary signage is hard to see... Blank stare On the way down from Larch Too studly for words More studliness on display OMG, super stud alert! Scenery that's not a picture of any of us for once!! :) Famous water thing... Flip Flopper alert! More flippers... Awesome picture taking again from Mayhem Ahhh.... Thousands of flipper floppers Our cars, parked so close for a quick escape from the flopperinos! Over to Ainsworth for the A section of LARJ... Vandalising the dirt!! Checked what Thumper was doing and it turns out he was writing some words into the dirt, reads something like Thumb + Mayhem = BTFF's 4EAE ❤❤❤ Mayhen bending over again with his homless hiker pack on... Ponytail or Horsetail falls, I really don't know but I bet you do! Junction from 400 up to RJ Trail Getting steeper I found this guy and Mayhem took the picture Steven Shelter after some more hunt and peck action, cabin 1 on Russ Jolley Trail Inside pano of SS Cabin 1 My favorite shot of the day Thumb is very stoked with the RJ trail and this makeshift bridge crossing! He loved this area a lot :) Shelter 2 on RJ Descending RJ back to the 400 junction From RJ looking down to the nearby falls with people looking up at us... OMG, what a day guys!! Thanks for the great time and all the killer funny jokes I made! :) ❤

Nice! Had I known this was only going to be 23 miles, I would have joined you all. That Defiance was scaring me off!

When are you guys going to do night hikes?

Eric Peterson · October 2, 2011

Hey Chris, you could have still joined up for at least the Larch section then left. Invited Crusak to do that but he had something else planned, invite was totally open over on PH for anyone to come and join us! :)) We didn't even have time for Defiance after going up the Russ Jolley shelter hunt. Not sure if I'm going to do a night hike unless I'm forced too, eek . . .

Also, Chris, I'm devising a killer Larch area loony loop that will include Devils Rest over to Larch and maybe some Bell Creek and maybe some more for a hike coming up soon. You're more than welcome to come along dude! The more the merrier, these hikes are usually so funny that our guts and mouths hurt really bad after words... ) ❤
