Saddlebag Again

With the weather report on Shasta calling for windy conditions after 39 emails it was decided to go to The Mount Conness area based on JimW’s conditions report from a couple weeks back. This place is special place to Me, it was my first overnighter where I met most of the people I tour with now.
The trip to saddlebag lake and then on to greenstone lake is a long slog, so a plan was hatched to make the way out a little easier

The trip back was going to be a breeze, but the trip in….errr up was a rough go

We had a couple of new faces in the gang
WJB and Malikia, JimW,s husky

After biking,hiking,and finally skinning we were ready for some fun

Nothing technical, just buttered corn

While Swanny gets His grub on

JimW brought out His new sleeping bag. I thought it made Him look like Gumby

and….it makes his butt look big

Mal seemed to like the camp location

He didnt like the Doggles though. Lasted long enough for a pic

Sunday we headed for the Mt. Conness area

And it was pure Corntopia
