The Elk River Trail Will Never Be the Same

Cottonwood Adventures held a hike at the Elk River Trail on Saturday and Sunday. What a blast! All the girls that came on the trip had previous backpacking/hiking/camping experience so the trip required little if any "teaching" and more just having fun and enjoying the experience.

The trip was a hoot...from ill-fitting packs to leaking water bottles to "how to shit in the woods"...the Elk River Trail will never be the same.

Here is a little colorful imagery from the trip:

1. Fitting apack at the trailhead: Yes that is a knife in my hand. Lecia's exact words: "Cut this shit off of here."2. Happy Campers: Tracey and Lecia chillin' (literally) at "base camp."
3. Knitting trailside: Working on the "Panta" pattern with some Noro Shimano


4. Leaky Water Bottle = Soggy GORP.


5. TO BE CONTINUED...

Isn't Shimano a brand of bicycle pedals and/or brakes? Are these bicycle socks? ;) There should be a new acronym - KITW - knitting in the wild. The closest I will get is knitting while watching National Geographic. Can't wait for the next installment!

You are Panta crazy. But its an easy to take anywhere project. You have proved that!
Waiting for next chapter.
