Yesterday I tackled my very first solo back-country hike up to Lynn Lake. I’ve honestly only ever done one other back-country hike with my brother and it was such an exhilarating experience, I just don’t have the words to describe it.
I’ve since been hooked and have been investing a fair bit into gear, so that I can get out there and survive it. I can honestly say that without the equipment I’ve purchased in preparation for yesterday’s hike, I wouldn’t be sitting here writing this blog entry. It got absolutely HECTIC out there yesterday. It was full-on TREACHEROUS at times, but what a feeling being out there completely alone in the wilderness!!
Here are just a couple snaps from the hike…
