Resting and Reflecting into a Campfire (Olympic National Park) Camping Outdoors

  I was ready for some rest and relaxation, after getting my butt kicked by the mountain the last few days.  So I jumped in with a friend on his planned camping trip and we ended up just lounging on a gravel bar for 4 days; good food and campfires every night.  It was good to experience this form of backpacking, was also nice to hike with a partner; for the first time in weeks.

Hours spent staring into a campfire.
