July 4th Weekend backpack trip to the Upper Palisades Lake

Here we are having our pre-hike meal.  We are at the Burger shop in Swan Valley.  It was a great trip.

 The parking lot.
 Mom gets a hair call about an hour into the hike.
 Here is a picture of the group standing on the second bridge.
 We made it to Chicken Springs about 12:30 a.m. we went to bed at 1:00 a.m.
 Here the group is doing their stretches.  Now the fire is small and it's pitch black, I take the pic and this is what we get.  We laughed our heads off at this.
 Morning time, we got up ate and hike to the back side of the Upper Lake.

 Having our first breakfast.. on Jordins birthday.  I served her breakfast in bed.  She had biscuits and gravy!









 Some very great pics along the way.
 My trusty pull into the Upper Lake.  What a trooper!

 Pumping water was a family affair.
 After that long hike in people were pretty rank..  While Dillon was snoozin and Mom, JD and Ashlynn were hiking to the falls.  We went and took a nice bath.



The horse flies were almost unbearable.
Happy 13th Birthday to Jordin.
What a trooper this baby of mine was on this trip!
My most prized possession!  Terri... I LOVE YOU!
Ash trying to get JD up for a pic....
...it worked.

Mom spent a couple of hours enjoying the beauty of the area.  These pictures do not compare to what we saw.
Dillon caught two fish while here.

JD and Ashlynn's hangout.
Dillon and his home made bed.

Yes, we know you are 13 years old already.
This was a story in its self.


Nothing better then to soak the toes, JD thanks for taking the pack the rest of the way!
