Wonderful photos. I really need to carve out the time to go back up there. I think it's pushing 5 years now for me without a trip. Alas.
Awesome Lisa. I enjoyed the photos
Adam, you need to make the time. I have missed two fall trips - one due to truly bad weather (ferry wasn't making the run the day I was to go out and storms all week) and another the year I ran Sawtooth (would have been hard to put shoes on for a day or two it turns out).
Time on the island helps me "reset" and cope with the rest of the year. I am yearning for a spring trip though after seeing all of the (out-of-season) wildflowers.
Thanks Lisa! Those are but a fraction of the photos I took. It was so cold this year I had to carry my camera on an inside pocket, and sleep with it, to keep my batteries charged.
