For the second year, I went on a backcountry hut trip in the Wallowas...located in NE Oregon. This year there were 8 of us...5 from Seattle and 3 who flew up from Texas. We all met up in Ballard and drove down to Joseph, Oregon. The trip started with a 4 mile skin into the huts. It was somewhat brutal as we had to lug 3 sleds (weighing over 100 pounds) of gear and provisions (food and booze) in with us. After 3 brutal hours, we made it to the huts...
The next 3 days were spent skinning and skiing around the huts, eating massive meals, drinking beer, and even spending some time in the wood burning sauna.
After 3 days, my legs were somewhat fried...a 4.5 mile skin out took us back to the cars. The rest of the crew headed north and I left for Boise...
