This is part 21 in a series of 22 blog posts that I am dedicating to my favorite photos of 2009. Today’s inductee and now a resident in my “Outdoor Adventure” photo album is “Hike“. I took this photo December 7th, 2009 at 1:10 PM with my dead (non focusing) Canon SD 1000.

My camera was dead and taking blurry photos but this shot of Ed as we hike up Bass Creek caught my eye. So instead of tossing the photo I made it black and white and here you go. It says “Hike” all over it.

The only thing better then this photo was being there. Julie, Laurie, Ed, and I were hiking up Bass Creek after our first dumping of snow. We realized this would be the last foray into areas like this on foot for the year. It was a great time.

One memory that sticks out was when I saw some hunters and remarked that they looked like Elmer Fud hunting wrabbits. Sure enough, it was rabbit hunters and to make things even more interesting, friends of Ed and Laurie.  Small world.

So today is the first Thursday Night Mountain Bike Ride and fittingly I transition from great hiking memories to the memories yet to be constructed with “the group”.
