Push, Pull, Paddle




This weekend, to the great up north... Took a paddle, sloppy crawl, and hike up into Moose Basin. Jackson Lake was exceptionally muddy, thanks to the need in America for potato and potato products. I think at some point we were all knee deep in mud that had been at the bottom of a lake all summer. Mmmmmm.... Smelled delicious. Then a beautiful hike up, up, up into Moose Basin to a camp above a glacial lake for sunset and, as Carl Sagan would say, billions, and billions and billions of stars. Pics to follow. The trip out involved an uneventful hike down Webb Canyon and a slog of a push, pull, and paddle to get across the lake. Better planning would have helped, but the Karate Kid maneuvers on the tree stumps made up for it all. :)
