All in all it was a great campout! I'm in no shape yet for backpacking or strenuous hiking, but car-camping is fine for now. In this part of the world, I may not care for the politics but the outdoor opportunities are tremendous! Hope you enjoyed the photos!

And yes, I know the dates say January 2000, but that's my fault for not figuring out how to get the date reset correctly on my camera! Heh!
