Backpacking, San G

For Memorial Day weekend, we made our first backpacking trip of the summer. We were only allowed one night because it was a Holiday weekend and the trails were booked! Heather and Andy made the trip with us for their first ever backpacking trip. It was a lot of fun to have them out there with us.


We started at the South Fork trail and headed up to our camp at Dry Lake


About 2 miles into the hike is where you actually enter the Wilderness area. There is a fantastic lookout area that has a great view of the destination. There was still quite a bit of snow on the mountain this time.

Mav was in his element!


Jon and I at Dry Lake with the peak in the background. Dry Lake was already dry, which was very surprising with how early in the year it was.





It was a great start to what looks to be a wonderful summer. We hope to make many more trips out into God's beautiful country!

The Mav!

We are having so much fun with Maverick. He is turning into such a great dog with an amazing personality. Jon keeps saying that he never thought he would have a dog as cool as Maverick. And it's true, he's the best!


Poor puppy got a big cut on his hind leg and had to get some stitches. Needless to say, he was not fond of having to wear "The cone of shame!"


He's definitely been having fun with his new girlfriend, Morgan! Our neighbors, Martin & Nicole, got Morgan while we were in Mammoth. It's been nothing but love (or full out battles) since day one.


In the beginning of May, it was Ride Your Bike to Work week. Mav enjoyed the wind in his face while being towed by Jon to and from work.
