I left the campground down the Rio Blanco, without having a chance to eat breakfast. I just wanted to catch the morning light, before it disappeared. There was this wild path by the river, that was blocked with tree branches to discourage the hikers. I followed it for a couple miles , sometiimes climbing on rocks to avoid the current. In the end I arrived very close to Laguna Sucia, a picturesque Lake wedged between step mountains. The only problem was a raging river between me and the lake. I decided to follow this river upstream to see i there's a narrower place, where I could jump across. By that ttime I started to feel hunger. Also, it started to hail. I thought that if I fell and twisted my ankle, nobody would discover my body for a long time. As I proceeded up the mountain, there were clumps of red berries, not unlike low-bush blueberries, but red outside, and white, almost translucent inside. I tried one; it tasted a bit like rose water. They were a poor substitute for a meal, but I was hungry. Later I learned that they were Chaura Berry, and edible.
Well, in the end I sot some images from the middle of the raging stream and after a strenous hike returned to the campground in time for a late lunch.
What's your adventure.

I have recently been digitizing some old images from about 30 years ago in which I and my then wife travelled on a sailing / diving holiday to the Solomon Islands and New Guinea. Though not perhaps necessarily inherently too dangerous, the danger quotient went up considerably with some of the dives we undertook - open water diving above oceanic chasms 3000 feet (or more) deep in Iron Bottom Sound, huge under water "drop-offs" (vertical cliffs) with enormous currents flowing along them, diving with sharks, and penetration diving into sunken ships from WW2. Loved it and now feeling very nostalgic about it. A few photos follow (some of which I may have posted in other threads). Since I was the photographer these are all of other people - mainly my then wife.

Once in September I got stuck in a freak snowstorm, in Mt.Baker wilderness, in Northern Washington. I'd lie in my small tent listening to the trees breaking from the weight of snow. I was resigned to my fate, when on the fourth day I heard the voices of the Forest Rangers coming to get me. Turns out my wife, seeing that I hadn't returned on specified date called the Forest Service, and they were able to look for me. Close call...
