Backpacking --- 4/20/2007 - 4/22/2007 --- Buttermilk Falls, Lick Brook

Floris and I led an Outdoor Photography guide training trip for Wilderness Reflections. We hiked from Buttermilk Falls to Lick Brook and back. Not much distance. Plenty of time for lots of photography. Nice three day trip. Excellent way to enjoy Earth Day.
