just another one of nature's pimples

Last weekend was my first official backpacking trip. Trish's as well, and we brought our friend Mike along as our official guide. There were some slight hitches in the plan. It's late august and the trails are still snow covered! But luckily the friendly ranger directed us to the high divide trail at excelsior pass and excelsior peak. I couldn't help but laugh when mike took a long look at baker and said "just another one of nature's pimples".
