Back-country (Bear Country!) Camping

Pete and I spent three evenings at Trout Lake in the Selkirks a few weeks ago. It was really lovely - no bears, but plenty of good fun outdoors regardless. Fishing, camp fires, bear-bags and yoga on a big rock.



I *heart* my snazzy new orange hiking boots! Love love love.



Trout Lake. Our camp site was to the left of the rock slide across the lake. It was perfect. Gorgeous views, secluded from the other campers, and a tiny stream running through it for chilling our, ummm, martinis. Camping a la 007.

Happy Pete! (Biiiig rainbow trout!)

And begins the Yoga on Giant Rocks series. Thanks to Pete, who knew that I have always wanted an outdoor yoga series, and acted as photographer extraordinaire.

And I'll leave you with this parting shot. We diligently hung bear bags nightly, but it appears we should have been more concerned about smaller critters. All in all, some mini-character made off with my sock liners, and one flip flop. They were kind enough to leave this one, albeit with no straps. And, to top it off, the critter pooped in my shoe!!! See proof above.

Ah, camping.
