  Cow moose and two young'uns on the trail near Chimney Pond campsite at Baxter.  She *almost* mauled Dann the night before!  Never seen Dann so scared in all my life!!

  Summit of Pamola, five minutes before lightning almost killed us all!  Everyone's hair was standing strait up!  A bolt a hundred meters away lifted us into the air.  Nearly bought the farm.
 

  First part of "Knife Edge" trail (2000 foot drop on both sides; trail 3 feet wide in places!)  Pamola summit in background, halfway between Ricky and Dann.  Next day we climbed up Dudley Ridge to Pamola summit (up left ridge line), almost blasted by lightning in big thunder/hail-storm during lunch on summit.

   Huge blazer our last night! We hiked everything we had planned from the upper basecamp at Chimney Pond in our first three days, so we decided to move down lower for our last night since rain was predicted.  It did rain, so we went around and invited the entire campground to join us.  Hauled many logs back to camp.   Very wild night!    (Rick slept on picnic table)
