Highland Mary


The Highland Mary Lakes hike is an annual traditon
for our Scouts and geezers of the Ward.
Located due south of Silverton, CO it's a georgeous alpine tundra
scattered with small lakes.
Logan was a veteran of the trek, and powered up the trail like a
Mountain goat.
This was Brian's first major backpacking trek, and let's
just say "we took our time."

Our chance to try out some home made ultralight stoves.
Everybody but Logan and I caught fish, but we happily
accepted donations.
Brian loved the fishing, but ate nothing but peanut butter
on soft tacos.

Seems like a 10 mile hike. Not quite.


Perfect weather, beautiful country.
