Pete recently took Clifford on a winter backpacking trip to somewhere in North Bend. They met up with his friends Nic and Nate. Their plan was to hike up as far as they wanted and then campout for the weekend. Pete said it started off great, with no snow whatsoever. But as they continued on, that soon changed. From my understanding, they made it as far as to the trailhead. They camped somewhere off to the side. The plan was for them to stay a few nights, but they all came home after one. They were cold and wet. There wasn't enough room for Nic and Nate's tent. I was told they worked hard to get a fire going, only to have a HUGE rock fall and land right on top it. Pete said the noise of the rock falling was loud, and that if Clifford had been anywhere near the fire, it would have crushed him. Scary! Pete sent me a text the next afternoon when they were on their way home. I wasn't too disappointed. It happened to be a 3-day weekend, and all I really wanted was for all of us to be home together doing absolutely nothing.
Clifford and Pete ready for
their hiking adventure!
Trail looks good so far...
..until they hiked around the corner
and saw this.
Clifford crawled in and took a nap
once Pete had the tent set up.

Not sure what Clifford's doing here,
but this is after they hiked back to the car
