Human BEINGS! I'm saved! The only two people I saw on my trail zero were Dynomite and Serena, two hikers I'd met long ago on the trail. They were nice enough to stay and chat for a while before moving on, so we got caught up on trail gossip and such. Then the rain started.


Unable to stand being cooped up in the tent for too long I wandered the lakes surroundings and explored for a bit.





Chucked a few stones into the cold blue waters as the rain fell.
