Devil's Creek

We took a last opportunity to get out before the snow hit and hiked Devil's Creek trail.  About seven miles in we reached our campsite.  The mountains above it were filled with sheep.  Unfortunately, it was a month after the season closed!  I did get several grouse, though.

After setting up camp, we dropped packs and hiked another three miles before turning around and heading back to camp.  We nearly had a critical dinner failure when the stove went out and the Husband couldn't get it to light again.  This was, of course, solved after he read the directions.

There wasn't any snow yet but it was still quite cold.  The ground was mostly frozen.  I was comfortable enough after putting on two of everything - including hats and scarves!  I need a new sleeping bag!
