HAUTE PYRENEES- May 1996
This was my first backpacking trip. My friend Michel suggested that we traversed the Hautes Pyrenees in 6 days. Michel had grew up in the Alps. He is a mountaineer, very good with orientation.
The next five day was an unforgettable adventure. The two of us had to carry food for 6 days. His pack weighted 80 lbs, mine was 40 lbs. On the 3rd day, we were lost in the snow storm. I thought our life had ended.
Here we are at 14,000 feets
I finished washing the dishes.
Everyday, after a long hike, we selected a good spot near the stream to camp. Michel set up the tent. I do the cooking.
This is the second day. It starts raining.
