Father and Son Backpacking

Stan wanted to introduce Scott to the ways of backpacking. They headed up on Friday afternoon near San Gregorio Reservoir.

On their way! Sterling was so sad to not go with them.

I love this picture! A nice man was impressed that these two were going backpacking and offered to take a picture.

All set up. You can see the radio antenna wire hanging down to the right of Scott.

Stan and I were able to visit a couple of times during the trip on the radio. That was super fun!

Dinner time...and looking at the antenna

Up in the morning and ready for hot chocolate and oatmeal.

A view of camp

After breakfast, they headed on a hike to the reservoir to fish a little.

Recent rains had made for a muddy hike.

Scott's shoes got so much mud on them! He gained about an inch in height :)

This cute hiker. He had a compass so that he could help figure out which way to go.

They had a great time and Scott has talked about going again next year ever since. I love that Stan does these things with Scott and that Scott loves it.
