Cranberry 50 Backpacking Trip

I went on a great trip with 3 friends this weekend. We hiked much of the way around Cranberry Lake, camping out 3 nights along the way...


Here are the 3 guys who came along...our longest day was 16 miles...it was harder than I had anticipated, but a fun time and some beautiful country...


We had some gorgeous mornings, although cold...the nightly lows were 20, 22, and 29...


We passed this pretty waterfall along the way...


This is a picture of my hammock and tarp setup on a little peninsula on Cranberry Lake at the final campsite...


This is my gear for the 3 day trip...about 35 pounds all told...it was a fun trip, but I definitely felt my age and weight on the uphills...
