Title: Anniversary backpack to Yellow Aster Butte meadows
Post by: DragonSpeed on August 08, 2013, 01:55:17 PM
My wife and I headed out last weekend for an overnight backpacking trip to Yellow Aster Butte meadows as our 13th anniversary of the trip we took for our honeymoon in 2000.  I trekked the 7D up with me using the Cotton carrier (which, I might add, was quite comfortable)

The whole set is at http://www.flickr.com/photos/dragonspeed/sets/72157634968454038

Here are some samplings of the photographic fruits of our labour:

1. Some lovely little purple wildflowers

One thing that the camera DOESN'T show is the hordes of bugs!!! Wow - might have lost 1 lb in blood while we were up there.
