Betty Mountain Girl --- The year 2009 in review

Biking

We had an extremely wet spring and summer. Torrential rains for weeks on end-- making things very muddy to say the least.









Misty started to mountain bike with me. She fell in a swamp.

I wrote about being tired.

I tried to take a Panda photo. It's harder than it looks.

Bicycle Touring

I rode my bike with five other friends to Bar Harbor Maine. It took almost a week.

I enjoyed many Pringles on the trip. I like Pringles.





It rained a lot.





I learned how to make Campfire Pizzas on that trip. And then I made them again.

------------------------------------

More camp cooking



I tried to make a fruit cobbler on my Jetboil stove. I burnt the crap out of it.



We tried to make Campfire cakes. That didn't work out so well either.

Backpacking- Hiking - Camping- Kayaking

We went backpacking with some friends. We're in bear country and my friend took the time out to toliet paper our tent. Too much fun for just a few days.

We hiked a lot. Jumped around a lot.



We paddled.



Looking back-- this past year was a lot of fun. Adam-yak, Nuggets and I are dreaming up an even bigger year for 2010. Can't wait! Thanks for reading everyone. It wouldn't have been nearly as fun without you all along for the ride!
