Guys Weekend 2007 - Friday

We all met at Jeff's house Friday morning before heading out to Bend. Everything went pretty much according to plan. There were only a few things of note:

1. Missi and I hid Jeff's backpack from him since he left it sitting in his wide-open garage. I think we had him worried for a few minutes.

2. Craig bought a rainbow - yes, that's right - a rainbow-striped headlamp from the clearance bin at GI Joe's.

3. Craig and PQ tried unsuccesfully to dunk on Jeff's hoop.

4. Jeff's earlier prediction to me that, "We're not getting out of town without first stopping at GI Joe's," came true.

After a stop for lunch in Bend, we finally made it to the Green Lakes trailhead. Although the sign says it is 4-1/2 miles, our actual campsite was around 5-1/2 or 6 miles from the trailhead. Here are some pictures from the hike in.






Once we got to the Green Lakes area, we were met with breathtaking views of South Sister and three beautiful alpine lakes. The rest of Friday was spend setting up camp and eating some delicious stew, compliments of Jeff and Craig.
