18) My Primus LITECH pot and LITECH kettle are 2 of the best investments I have ever made when it comes to hiking kit and I cannot say enough about them.



19)While waiting for lunch, I noticed the tree with what we call "Old Man's Beard" or "Goats Beard."



20) Whatever it's real or proper name, I just know that it makes excellent fire tinder and burns very rapidly. In this case, it started to burn my fingers so I let it go and still managed to get a good photo.



Found some Huckleberries for lunch desert and made sure I left plenty for the bears. (This is prime black and grizzly country and there is sign all around.)



After lunch I went back out into the debris field and took a few more pictures. By this time, I realized that I was the only person up here and being out in the debris field really gave me a sense of in the big scheme of nature, how small and insignificant we really are



I sadly had to leave and return home but I was able to spend one more night to enjoy one more campfire and a few more cups of tea.
