Enchanted Valley Chalet and our "Illegal" Camp spot. Notice everything in the world that we owned at the time drying on the fence post.
Can't get the $*@*!% stove to light. After 3 days of MREs we really wanted a hot meal. And I had some really bad taste in clothes back then. These were k-2 specials.

Our 6 man tent and our equipment tent.
After a couple of days, James finally gets the #$%! stove to work and we get a hot meal.
