After Dave left for home I spent 10 days hiking and backpacking with my little sister MaryAnn, her husband Chuck and my older brother Chip. Chuck, MAC and I started with an overnight up at HIdden Peak, We followed that up with a day hike to Maple Pass and finished once Chip had joined us with a 4 day trip into Itswoot Ridge / Bachelor Meadows. All told, I was in the Cascades July 13th until August 7th. The only bad weather came during the last few days.
