We needed a desert hike and some campfire time. So Jack organized a quick trip to Blair Valley. We arrived Friday after lunch, found a spot, setup camp, started a fire with some of the wood from the truck load of wood John brought, and hung out with some beers and good food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

On Saturday we headed over to the pictograph trail at the south eastern end of Little Blair Valley and hiked to the rock with the pictograph. From there we headed north cross country to a wash that took us up to the ridge west of Whale Peak. In the evening we grilled some tri-tip Brazilian BBQ style and made a pot of FZB (Feuerzangenbowle).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Sunday morning we had our traditional egg-potato-kelbasa-breakfast before packing up. Some went home, some went up to Ghost Mountain and I ran back part of the previous day’s route to try to retrieve binoculars that got left behind the day before during a break. I was happy to find them, but then a bit bumped that I missed out on the weather balloon find on Ghost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
