Maybe Next Year

My friends Deanne and Sue went camping last week at Hurricane Ridge and invited me to join them.  I wasn't sure I was up to it.  They sent these photos as an enticement for next year.

Notice how the carefully selected photos address two of my very particular concerns about the trip -- sleeping on the ground (is that a BED inside the tent?), and the difficulty of the hike (it appears quite flat).  My other concern -- being quiet for an extended period of time -- cannot be documented in photos.  I do believe even I could remain silent just for the joy of seeing those wild flowers in bloom!  And they'd make the hike a lot more inviting as well.
