Alpenglow; peaks SW of Scoop Lake.  In the time I spent talking with Derek, a group of four arrived at Scoop Lake and set up camp at the spot I was heading to on the other side of the peninsula near the SW end of the lake.  I backtrack to a site near the outlet of Scoop Lake.  Last year, that site was occupied by another party.  The tent was a tight fit, and surprisingly, I was able to easily sink all but one of the 8 stakes.  I set the hang, made dinner, and got my rod prepared for morning.  No trout tonight, so I made the heavier of the remaining dinners to lighten the load for the hike out.  The 6 day old weather report remained accurate.  We were in for some weather!
