Today was a pretty big snafoo of a hike trip, mostly because we didn't caravan our two cars and the area we were in had no signal, so our friend Jordan couldn't reach/find us and had to go back home. The age of technology is pretty crippling in these cases, especially when we can't work our GPS and have to rely on the ancient scrolls of the old country.
We got lost around Duvall for a good hour or so (as per usual on hike trips), and eventually pulled up by a McDonalds to look at a map. With faith and Rita's humorous but random questions, we made it to the trail entrance!
The day was pretty cold, but towards the middle it warmed up to where I had to take off my huge coat. I'm working with a broken 50mm lens, so the focus is very wonky in these photos. :'(
Mushi spotted!
There were a few felled trees along the path, so we either climbed over or under them and continued our ascension.
The bridges laid out were so cute and uneven.
It pointed to the lake. Rangers got jokes.
The lake was just up ahead! We made itttt!
I wish I had a telephoto lens, because I couldn't capture the lake in even half its entirety. The atmosphere up here was completely silent. The only sounds were melted snow falling on the leaves, and our feet crunching the snow.
We tested out the ice on the lake, and joked about walking across it, but too many movie tropes prepared us for the inevitable outcome. Rita's cute boots!
