"Cliff Licks" by Nutnfancy ('Where The Air Is Thin' Actual Pt 2)

Cliffiside herds of mountain goats provide entertainment as the morning begins. I'd planned to launch our summit hike early but filming these fascinating mountain dwellers on camera became our priority. Much film time is provided in this continuation of our "Where The Air Is Thin" adventure (Part 2). Billies, moms, and kids open their morning grazing and foraging the meadow below and then move up to amazing some stunning cliffside areas as the morning progresses and more hikers move into the basin. Apparently the cliffs tastes pretty good to them as well too: salty mineral deposits high above give some needed nutrition (horn, hoof development). Allie the Mountain Dog is enthralled with our goats friends but I keep her nearby as we stalk closer for better footage. The deep blue sky provides a stunning backdrop to the talus mountains and our glacier as we capture the experience on camera. Finally we do a little camp maintenance, pack up the tent and bags, and then are underway for the hike. With a huge blister on my foot (pain) and Allie limping from left paw abrasion, I'm not convinced we can make it but we are determined to try. About 15 miles of hard hiking awaits us and we will hike until midnight. This was Day Two of my "Where the Air is Thin" high mountain adventure, thanks for coming along! ///////////////////////////// Great Music from a great TNPr, used with specific permission: www.youtube.com/user/bryanisms

Hey Nutn, have you ever tried any of the Kelty Redwing or Coyote internal frame series? It's top loading. but also has a front access to the body of the pack, making it extremely easy to get items without having to unpack anything else and offsets a lot of the criticisms you had here about internal frame packs.

Hey Nutn, I'm seeing a liiiiiiitttle bit of OCD there. ;)
