Backpacking Trip (pics)

[missbeckydee]

Hey everyone!

Well, this weekend is a three day weekend (woo hoo!) and Ben and I decided to go backpacking with some friends up in Alabama. I was a little nervous, because Ben wanted to take Jester, but it turned out to be such an awesome time. Jester had an absolute blast! He ran everywhere, got to play with lots of other dogs, and was so good about coming when called -- even if he really wanted to do something (say, jump in the river for the millionth time). I was so proud of him! Anywho, the place we went to was amazing. It was so gorgeous -- 30,000 acres with some great rock formations, beautiful trees and rivers....I did not expect to find all this in Alabama! I highly recommend it to anyone who lives in the NE Mississippi-SW Alabama area. Here are some pics of the trip:

Just a view of one of the many rivers the trail overlooks

I didn't mean to take a pic of him here but I guess he knew he was in the shot....what a camra ham. My wilderness pup!

Last, a pic of Ben and Jester checking out the view...

I'll post a couple more pics once I can get them off Ben's camera...We have some awesome pics of Jester passed out by the fire. Anyway, thanks for indulging me!

It's called the Sipsey Wilderness Area, and it's in the Bankhead National Forest. If you wanna see how long it takes to get there, put Rabbittown in your map finder, and that's where it is. There's so much to see there that we're gonna go back!

Here's the pic I was talking about:

Jester passed out by the fire after a full day of backpacking...

Jester running through camp to make sure everyone was up (he knocked down the green tent in the middle the morning before....it was hilarious).

And lastly, a pic of Jester at the Needle's Eye rock formation....that dog can rock climb like a pro!

Hope you like em!

Awesome shots! I'm so jealous! I miss camping... Didn't get to go camping at all this year.. boo! Looks like you guys had an awesome time!

 

[missbeckydee]

Yeah, we all had an amazing time. Our friends liked having Jester around, and Jester had a blast exploring absolutely everywhere! He got to play in the water, which I think was his favorite part. Even better, it completely wore him out. He's still dragging butt today...

lol.....I think so too. He's such a ham! Everytime I bring out the camera he sits and gives me a "smile". Think I've been taking too many pics of him? What a doof.
