First back country camping trip

 We passed a moose and a number of mountain goats next to the road.
 Heading out with high spirits and 4 and 6 year olds loaded with packs, we were not deterred by the mosquitos or the first few drops of rain.
 The campsite was beautiful but the mosquitos nearly carried us away. The rain set in and did not let up.

 At least the s'mores kept the kids in good spirits. Kaya counted 65 skeeters waiting to suck our blood between the fly of the tent and the mesh. We fit 4 of us in a 2 man tent and tried not to let any flesh get too near the mesh.
By the time we made the 4 km trek back we were all soaked to the skin. The kids were real troopers.
