I've turned my wife into a hiking/backpacking freak.

I'm loving it!

First backpacking trip:
My wife and a friend (Both are very fit- Wife is a swimmer, her friend runs marathons) decided to hike the entire Wonderland Trail- 93 miles all the way around Mt. Rainier.
Neither had backpacked before. They used my tent and some other stuff, used the experience as a good excuse to go shopping for more gear (gotta look cute in new hiking outfits) and spent nine (9!) days, completing the circuit. Two girls, both novices, and off they go....

Both came off the mountain feeling incredibly empowered, like there is nothing they can't accomplish. I'm proud of both of them!
