Packing it with six young strong women

Annette, Molly and Coral hit the dirt trail with six amazing little women! Annie, Caroline, Brynn, Lydia, Carmel and Sofia., ages 7 - 12, were all about learning backpacking skills, carrying their own load, setting up tents, filtering water from the lake and getting close to Mother Nature. We all backpacked in to Culbertson Lake, which was about two miles. After setting up camp, Caroline surprised us all with handmade bracelets. The young women got bandana's to wear and warrior paint for their faces. There was swimming in the lake and hiking up some rocky cliffs overlooking the back side of the lake. We all gathered wood and built a beautiful campfire. The evening was met with filet mignon's on the campfire, mashed pototoes, macaroni & cheese and grilled bell peppers. Caroline surprised Annette with a beautiful Rice Krispie cake to celebrate her birthday. After cake and several s'mores on the campfire, we settled in for the night. The cool morning was enjoyed with another campfire and hot chocolate as we cooked pancakes for breakfast. More time swimming and relaxing before packing up to head home. Brave young women mastering the skill of backpacking and the great outdoors.
What a trip it was. Thank you Annette!
