Camp
Moleskin, to patch up the blisters on my feet and hips.
From not training with that heavy pack, of course.. and rushing
up the hill! But really, this stuff makes blisters vanish.
Foot repair
Hip repair
Quick check of the map shows I still have a ways to go!
Ground temp that morning was only 40* when I woke up.
I also use this tool for water temp to help tell what the fish might be doing.
Bear can was stashed on a cliff like I always do.
I always have a bell taped to it too, so I hear is somebody
gets to it during the night. If anything breathes on it I would know.
So I packed up camp and said my Goodbye to Lone Pine Lake.
Chances are I won't be back that way very soon as with most
places I manage to escape to.
Up I went.
Thanks to whitneyzone, I actually found a trail marker.
I chuckled.
After a bunch of huffin' and puffin',
I got a nice turn around shot of Lone Pine Lake.
The trail started to get frosty.
No crampons at this point yet.
I think this is Bighorn Meadow?
Just behind it was Outpost Camp that I flew right by...
...after which I went up this.
...and arrived at a place I had been waiting to stop.
Mirror Lake! Woot! Great place. Crystal clear water and awesome fishing! I caught and released the fish unharmed!
Brookies! I love Brook Char.
I caught about 5-6 fish in very short order. lol
You could see them swimming around out there, cast to them, and
they would bite! Wide Open fishing. Home tied flies, of course.
One of the fish bit me back! I deserved it!
