Wednesday night after dinner we had an urge to get out of our house for a while! As we mulled over the calendar and realized how soon school will be upon us, we decided to go on a backpacking trip. The next day, after mailing off our Masters projects at Kinko's we made a quick stop by Arlberg Sports for new hiking shoes and pants for Annie, dish soap, and some dinners for the trip we took off towards Entiat, WA.
About 60 miles from Cashmere we found the trail head. Cassy was going to try on her pack for the first time. She carried her own food up the trail.
Our final destination was the Ice Lakes in the Glacier Peak Wilderness Area. We had never been there before and it is not an extremely well known trail. On day one we hiked eight miles to the campground on the Entait River.
Kent has a very quick and easy to use water filter so we can have fresh cold water any time we see a stream or lake.
Hot dogs tasted very good after a long hike.
We had to put Cassy on her leash because a deer would not leave our campsite alone! She would get closer and closer every time she visited. Cassy would love to chase her around, but we did not want to take this chance!
