IMG_7913.JPG22 viewsTo supplement our backpack meals, I fly-fished the lake that can be seen directly above Mike's pack. I caught two trout the evening before, and another the morning we walked out.

IMG_7916.JPG21 viewsOne of the more beautiful lakes in the meadow above our camp. This tent is pitched too close to the lake, according to the rules on the wilderness permit. There was a dog present to discourage any wilderness rangers. Bryce, the ranger who passed through our camp was very friendly, and the conversation was informing to say the least. Cool!
