Camo Cilted Carr Canyon Climb

**O'Neille** · 27th August 06, 05:04 PM

So I'm going the single parent thing this week and needed to get out of the house. I asked the little girl where she wanted to go and she said "up the mountain". So after looking for more camo fabric and having lunch we headed up. Sorry no castles.

You have to cross the creek about 3 times on the way up. This is where I winched the girls out a while back and ruined my SWK standard.

That would be our destination....the falls

A view from about halfway up. My house 7miles straight ahead, Mexico to the right.

Wow, this is great stuff. What was the temperature like there? I imagine it was pretty hot (I Google Earthed you a while back), but I'm surprised at how green it is there, and that there is that much water flowing this late in the summer.

Awesome pics. I wonder when someone is going to put a castle up there?

This is Monsoon season rains every day for a while. It was in the high 70's up there and about 90F down here at 4400'. Perfect for hiking up a creek without a paddle. "We don't need no stinking paddles, we have kilts...the perfect creek fording garmet" O'Neille

fantastic pics O'Neille, what beautiful views!

oh..and BTW, the deerstalker kilt looks way better with this outfit. The pale green shirt and more casual shoes n' sox compliment that camo very nicely.
In fact, that camo pattern seems to work very well in that environment. In a couple of pics part of you blends right into the backgrounds.

Who needs a vacation when you can have all these places come here, to X-marks? Great photos - thanks for sharing them.

But the kid needs a name, and I'm afraid "Mountain Goat Girl" conjures up the wrong backstory.
