| partners | | A couple of friends were celebrating birthdays and planned a weekend in the Ancha. Never one to turn down a group hike or stacks of rocks, I was all in from the get go! 
A few of us camped nearby, while others arrived in the morning. Along the way, we encountered a few more familiar faces and destroyed whatever peace and quiet might once have existed in this wilderness.
It was brisk to start, and the shaded hillsides had plenty of ice from snowmelt runoff from above. It was downright cold in the shade, and seeking out sun was key. The waterfall had a light flow, but getting behind it was not in the cards due to the ice.
A couple of times a single jet made a flyby deep in the canyon along with some sharp maneuvers that were fun to watch. The plane was white with a red tail stripe (or two?) ... which I don't believe I've seen before.
We made our way out to the ruins and took a short break before heading back down the hill. We made a last minute decision to build a fire and spend a 2nd night at camp. Somehow we managed to cobble together enough miscellaneous food and drink to make it work.
Good times and happy birthday to Viv and Daniel!  |
