Backpacking in the Wind Rivers

Jason decided this year that Andrew was old enough to go on the annual backpacking trip with him and his brothers.  Andrew was thrilled to be the first kid allowed to come on a 50 mile trip.  They usually go to the Uinta mountains but decided this year to try the Wind River Mountains in Wyoming.  After a whole summer of trying to find out about these mountains they were unfamiliar with they were finally ready to go the end of July.  As always, Jason's pack was way too heavy and he was trying to decide what he could leave home at the last minute.  They were a little nervous about bears but not enough to scare them away from these lakes.  They came home filthy and tired but happy to have caught the golden trout they were after and everyone having survived all those miles of hiking without any encounters of bears (although they did find some tracks.)
