So jesse's got all our pictures up. all 921 of them. yup, that's what happens when you get a sweet new camera...
So if anyone actually looks at ALL of them, let me know, cause then youll win the prize...... ...for wasting time! no it's definately not a waste, there's some awesome stuff there, especially toward the end.
highlights:
amazing mt top views
pitcher plants
me after falling off the side of the trail
60 mph wind, hail, torrential rain(soo refreshingly ICE cold), lightning(struck a tree next to 4 hikers who we talked to-they were knocked down and paralyzed for ~15 min in the legs, then were ok...yikes!)
jesse returning from a successful mission with the "important papers"
us getting drinking water from a puddle of ooze
jesse and I perched on the edge of various dizzying cliffs
some delicious brook trout we caught and ate
awesome lakes
sweet waterfalls
a "giant smiley" we constructed out of a huge boulder and fallen trees
snowballs in july!
a bridge we built over a raging stream
haphazard fordings of numerous waist deep rivers
uhmm... pretty flowers and butterflies...
the"tubs" deep pools of mountain spring water that was the coldest I have felt without ice. jesse jumped in and shot out! I jumped in and felt fuzzy and warm instantly, then burning hot! figured hypothermia isnt good so i got out and still felt good and amazingly invigorated and refreshed. 5 min later was shivering VIOLENTLY!
lots of crazy widlife like the black and white polka dot ckicken (mt grouse)
night hiking!!! awesomely fun!
toads snakes and frogs and biting flies leeches and mosquitoes
a sweet close up of the monumental "millioneth mosquito bite on jesse " the prize for such a accomplishment-instantanious death.
sweet ripe mountain blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries and even cranberries!
sunrises/sunsets and lots of hiking during and between
the mahoosuc notch, a gorge full of giant boulders (where the sun dont shine) it felt like a walk in freezer and had snow and ice in JULY!
