Mr X and I recently went on a backpacking trip in RMNP. It was my second one as an adult. My first experience left me with a reluctant attitude towards backpacking: Inadequate equipment (we froze), horrible hiking boots that left my feet bloodied and blistered. Seven years later I was up for attempt #2. Mr X ensured we were both properly outfitted for the adventure. He was wonderful and I had a really nice time. We going to do it again in a different area of the park in a few weeks. I'm looking forward to it.

You don't look too excited about that oatmeal...
but your guns look huge in that photo!
My first night was a bit rough. I didn't sleep well because of all of the unfamiliar sounds. I was a bit groggy that morning. The oatmeal helped. :-)
My arm is just smashed on my knee. It's an optical illusion is all. My guns aren't that big.
Thanks for commenting!
