These pictures tonight really put the want on me to go up to a place like that again like I tried to do when I lived in Washington state. The best I could normally do was about 6000 feet for one night. But I loved it for that one day.

New locations always put me in the mood to take more photographs, and since taking pictures make me happy, I'm always happy when I'm in a new place.

Thank you, Judith. I think 10,000 feet is about everybody's limit for happy camping. Around here if you go much higher than that your above tree line and that is a tough place to be, both weather-wise, and for breathing. And sometimes a campers propane equipment, such as heaters, refrigerators, and stoves, either doesn't work or doesn't work very well at those altitudes.

Oh please, for the love of god, spend more time describing to this Texan, this summer, just exactly how cool that mountain stream was. When we turn on our cold water taps, the water comes out warm. People are burning their hands on door knobs! Thanks for your efforts here, Mr. Boondork.

Thank you for the comment indigo. I have a little bit of experience with the warm things you have described both from living in Miami Florida, and spending some time during the summer in southern Arizona.

Thank you Larry. Sorry to hear about your over heating problems, all your heat problems could be at least partially responsible for all the Texas tags I'm seeing driving around in the mountains, so at least you make it sound like all of these Texans are here for a very good reason.

I used to enjoy canoeing but now even your photos are enough to start to trigger my panic around water sports. I sure wish we'd never gone on that canoe trip where a woman drowned. Then got dumped into the water ourselves where our preschool age daughter started to float downstream without us on the "get back on the horse" trip. Slow, deep breaths, Linda, you are safe.

Linda, that sounds like an absolutely horrifying experience, and I can understand why just thinking about anything to do with boating would bring back those memories.

Fortunately, my panic response time is now very short so post away.
