We've been home for a week now… aww can't wait to get out to the mountains again…
All in all, we had a blast at Carpenter Creek… when we first got there, we had to rebuild our outhouse, hopefully the new a-frame shape style will survive the 600 cm snow the valley gets in the winter, good thing the outhouse project was only a day project! After that we biked and hiked and explored the Carpenter Creek valley… highlights were abandoned mine sites and abandoned cabins, relaxing along carpenter creek, some trail building/clearing, one really long (7 1/2 hours hike) to the Carpenter Basin, the headwaters of Carpenter Creek below Mount Carlyle… stunning views!!! The black flies were bad, Garth got eaten alive… but we also saw lots of humming birds, bears, deers and porcupine… so much wildlife, amazing place!!!

Thanks Jutta!!! yes the pups went on the long day hike... they were pretty tired at the end of the day, the next day we took it easy and just relaxed by the creek...
