Ross Lake

Earlier this month our friends Rachel and Amy came up from San Francisco for a backpacking trip. The weekend started with a book reading Rachel gave in Bellingham about her new book. Then we headed up to Ross Lake for three days of hiking and swimming. Kennet brought his sea kayak, which worked out great- he got to do more paddling and less hiking, and we got to bring luxuries like the cast iron pan without having to carry them in our packs. Wally came with us and hiked about 20 miles over three days- not bad for a puppy!
