Joey has really wanted to go backpacking this summer and hasn't gotten to. So, we decided to take Max & Carly on a backpacking trip. We ditched Gus because it's way to hard to do regular camping, let alone having to hike in and out (sorry, Gus. Maybe next year...). But I shout out a BIG thanks to Janae and Yvonne for taking care of him while we were gone. Anywho, we left on Thursday afternoon and drove up to the Unitas. We started at the Baldy Mtn. trailhead but went around the mountain instead of to the peak. We hiked about two miles in to Notch Lake where we camped. Joey and I carried our big packs, Max carried a fanny pack, and Carly's only job was to be the best hiker and walk. They did really well considering it was our first time. We stayed till Saturday morning,had breakfast, packed up, and hiked out. We did some hiking and saw several different lakes and a herd of mountain goats that were grazing around the lake and cliffs by where we were camping. Very cool!
