[hollowdweller]

Kevin gave me the idea in his WSS 08 thread.

How about some pics of your favorite wilderness related fun for 08

Here's a few of mine

10/08 Dolly Sods Wilderness

06/08 getting rained on and lost in the Laurel Fork Wilderness (and finding our way) Thank goodness for compasses.

Adirondacks, 2008:

That was a great trip - my first in the USA!

I must say that I'm having almost as much fun wandering about Ontario on my snowshoes this season, but I have already posted those pics all over the place.

All the best,

- Mike

St. Augustine Alligator Farm

Okefenokee Waterway

Okefenokee Wilderness(at the campsites.)

Medium pictures don't do the originals justice.

2008 was a good year for the outdoors. Didnt get to fish very much because of the flooding . Me and Nic discovered a cave. Tried unsuccessfully to make a torch with a stick, corn stalks , and bailing wire. We got in a few feet before the torch burned out.

This was an excellent year for morels.

...and a good year for spotting white tails. Saw a lot of trophies.
