This was our overnight camp on the way up to the summit of Mount Baker. We were at about 8000 feet elevation on a relatively level area of Coleman Glacier known as the Football Field. We reached this point at about 4:00 in the afternoon, set up camp, cooked and ate our evening meal, watched the sunset and then turned in for the night. Edward (tan trousers) and I had a warm and comfortable night, but Nate and our guide, Troy (green jacket) were very cold and uncomfortable and did not sleep much. After waking at 4:00 am and making a quick breakfast we set off again at 5:00 am.

This is Edward at the Pacific Science Center in Seattle posing at the giant table and chairs. Perhaps I should mention that Edward is 17 years old and over six feet tall!

Thought I would post one of son Edward's pictures from our hike in the Twin Lakes area of Mount Baker Wilderness. This picture, taken from the trail to the top of Winchester Mountain, is certainly worthy of being posted and is one of the best photos from our hike. You can see in the picture our vehicle, our campsite between the two lakes and the road (gated) through Skagway Pass to the Lone Jack Mine, an active gold mine. We hiked down the road a ways one evening and found other evidences of mining activity in the area, including an old mine shaft. The photo also shows some of the autumn color in the mountains. ronaldhanko-orchidhunter.blogspot.com/2012/10/hiking-in-t... ronaldhanko-orchidhunter.blogspot.com/2012/10/hiking-in-t...

The photo looks south along the trail we had followed to High Pass. We went on from here to the shoulder of Mount Larrabee and Pleiades Overlook. This is one of Edward's photos. ronaldhanko-orchidhunter.blogspot.com/2012/10/hiking-in-t... ronaldhanko-orchidhunter.blogspot.com/2012/10/hiking-in-t...
