Week One Part Two

After Half Moon Lake and talking to locals for recommendations, we backtracked a little to the Wind River Range/Bridger Wilderness Area for the first backpacking adventure of our trip (3 days).

Lesson One (learned at the trailhead):  Bring all mosquito repellent devices, including lots of Deet, head nets, and proper clothing. Seriously, the worst mosquitos either of us have ever encountered.  There were times when Luke had at least 100 all over him (which is what happens when you don't wear Deet).
