Razz2sea...greats shots of fun times! I know what you mean, so here are a bunch more pics including the Saturday hike, the bonfire and some shots from our brief excursion to Heather Meadows and Nooksack Falls in the rain today.
In addition to sharing some great times with really great folks, you can see in the pictures that there was a serious love-fest going on with the critters present.
Hiking to Excelsior via Damfino Lakes:
Saturday night:
Tazz was spending alot of time bonding with critters...
Quark's Birthday Sporkfest celebration:
The Bonfire:
Sunday morning:
Here are some shots from our drive up to Heather Meadows and to Nooksack Falls on this foggy rainy morning. How appropriate for our first day of summer!

Wow, good times.... I just got home. Daisy and I stayed up at Heather Meadows until 6 pm. We wandered around during dry spells, and napped in the camper during the downpours. Thanks, Jen and Dave, for the wonderful hospitality. BTW, Daisy's flying squirrel was in the van all along.

I'm going to quit waiting for the trip report and thank Dayhike Mike for taking my pack for me on the way up, Elvis for loaning me his trekking poles -- again -- and everyone else for putting up with my wheezing and my first attempts at kicking steps in the snow, as well as your encouragement.

Doh! I *knew* my gear fit better in my trunk on the way home.
I'll get 'em from you sometime, somewhere. Sorry for leaving them behind.

No problems, buddy. Just paying forward kindness that has been extended to me in the past.
Most important thing is that we all have a good time and all get home safely. It was great fun being along with you for your first snow trip.
