DSCF0284.JPG17 viewsAbove Cirque Lake looms the saddle I crossed in the height of a thunderstorm, just an hour before. After descending to Cove Lake, I hurry to get the most important things out of the way; tent, food hung, water pumped. No sooner do I accomplish these tasks, all hell breaks loose; thunder, lightning, wind and hail for forty minutes. The storm moves east before dark, and with half an inch of hail on the ground, I am able to start dinner. No fishing this evening!

DSCF0285.JPG17 viewsSunrise; inlet, Cove Lake at 9842’. Not a trace of last night’s storm. Today will be a layover day. I intend to fish, and relax—something I have not done since starting out two days ago. There are lakes close by I have yet to visit. Two years ago I camped in this very spot, and the fishing was great.
