Ruth's Russian River Hike

I was invited by some ladies to go on a 2 day hike up the Russian River -I managed to get some gear together (since our belongings are still in storage), and headed off into the wilderness...
Luckily my new boots were comfy! Here's all the girls at the start..


Saw some beautiful scenery-

Enjoying the autumnal colours-
We saw lots of bear footprints and pooh-there was definately bears around, but thankfully we did not have any bear encounters -phew ......

The happy campers !

I had a wonderful weekend-was a bit sore, but felt I had really experienced the Alaskan wilderness with a great bunch of girls.
