Aunt Mavis is a lady through and through, with sophisticated urban savvy and the Sprick family's very best manners, but she also knows what to do in the wilderness. In the top photo, she hiked through the Bridger Wilderness in August 1981 (note the use of a ski pole as a steadier -- "brrrrillliant," as they say on Monty Python). In the bottom one, she hobnobbed with Uncle Bill at Waldesruh in June 1977. As Uncle Joe writes, "Thoreau would have been proud of them. There were no 'facilities,' just porcupines, mosquitoes and wood ticks." A typical Sprick familiy vacation, then.
