Yup, all that crap fits into the 2 storage compartments no problem, including my 3.5" thick extra long and wide REI Camp bed inflatable mattress... everything I take kayaking or backpacking has been replaced with lighter better options than what I had back in the 80's.
Except the sleeping pad, it's gotten progressively thicker and heavier- sacrifices must be made as we age for comfort's sake
Sun set right on top of Devils peak from my perspective. There's a fantastic vantage point from a prominent chunk of mountainside just a 5 minute walk from camp. With the Perseids bouncing off the atmosphere currently I slept from about 9:30 pm until 11:30 and then wandered back up to the view point for about 90 minutes. None spotted during that time period but the GoPro caught at least one or two.
Wildfire smoke hampered the views, North Cascades hiway was closed due to fire less than 20 miles east of Diablo
Pyramid Peak and the tip of Paul Bunyan's stump- morning view
Same, evening view
Iphone struggles to capture night photos, turns out kinda artsy
GoPro 12 does wonders!
Monkey Island had the winds something fierce
Quick stop on the way home at Fortson's Mill to see if I could spot the otters... no dice!
