This little adventure deserves it very own page. It all started out as a nice day hike up to Squatit. But I knew something was wrong when 3 hours into the hike, I was still bushwacking. No trail. Nice flowers though. The troopers were: Eunice, Heather, Heady, Grant and Jan.

And troopers we definitely were....

I believe the estimated time of hike was 6 hours (ascend and decend). We finished at a record time of 11 hours! leaving the birds, bees and bears behind just before midnight.
