I was proud of Kel today when she spotted a nice balloon while we were hiking on the trails north of Bell's Mt. It was still mostly inflated, too, so made a nice decoration on the back of my pack as we continued on the trail.
Our first for 2022.

Awww, and it wasn't even Kelly's birthday.

It's been a while since I came across one. At least the balloon had the decency to recognize my achievement.

Another great day in the woods finding treasures - capped off by finding this way off-trail south of Bridal Veil Creek near the site of the logging town of Brower.

What! You didn't climb up to get it!

Actually, I climbed up and put it there to get a good photo.

Off-trail north of Brower Road today, I'm having a great year!

Re: Happy Birthday!
I had the pleasure of joining Don Nelson for a little exploration around Palmer Mill Road yesterday. We noticed and decided to follow a game trail, and as it started fading, he said, "Let me know if you're seeing anything I'm not seeing." At that moment, I looked to the right and saw a mess of balloons and ribbon. We picked them apart and counted ten!
A little while later, we found an eleventh.
Then Don had to leave, but I lingered to explore a bit more and found a twelfth! My backpack was stuffed full!
