Anniversary Narrows December of 2009

One of the joys of hiking in Nevada is that you never quite know what the hike you’re going on is going to look like.  The top image is of Anniversary Narrows about 11 months ago.  The bottom image is of Anniversary Narrows in the last few weeks.

The rain that’s come through town has added several feet of rock and ruble to the bottom of the canyon.  It may be gone soon, it may not, Mother Nature will decide and we’ll see the results.

Stuff in the Backpack

So I asked for a fresh battery out of the backpack I was carrying.  The backpack has two pockets, a big one which is partially filled by a water bladder (water in the desert is good) and a smaller one for the knick knacks.

This is just some, some, of the stuff from just the smaller pocket.

This doesn’t include all the other stuff from the big pocket or the camera gear on my waist.

We pack too much crap.
