The Destruction of Elk Camp: Part 2

Some pictures of what is left of Elk camp. Last year it was the bears, this year it was the weight of the snow. A very big (and expensive) mess. I guess we will be packing everything out this year.


Mountain hot tubbing anyone?


Despite the wreckage and mess, it was a beautiful day for a hike.Lib and the world's most uncomfortable backpack.

In search of the perfect wedding site

We had decided to get married in the mountains, it was an easy choice and a perfect fit for both of us. I had seen pictures from the area Lib hunts and agreed it was a great location, but we didn't know exactly where we would be until this weekend. I've had a vague, general idea of what it would look it in my mind but I had no idea how much better it would be in real life. Standing there in the field with the creek running by, the mountains so close you feel like you could reach out to touch them and holding on to my future husband was pretty overwhelming. How did I ever get this lucky?

This is where we will set up the reception and tents (and dancing believe it or not).

Afterwards we headed up to elk camp and saw quite a few deer and elk on the way, but no bears this time. I was the first girl ever to elk camp, maybe I should have brought something fluffy and pink to hang up...








The view looking down over the valley near where we are getting married. It was so amazing to look at that I had a hard time keeping my eyes on the ground and kept tripping.





Maybe this should be our engagement picture instead!
