The Deer Lake hike was a success. We camped near the car Friday night. After a breakfast of pancakes, we hiked for almost 2.5 hours with a stop for the dog to swim in Horse Lake. When we went by the lodge on Upper Salmon lake, Jane just about abandoned our party for the thought of not sleeping in a tent.
After camping at Deer Lake Saturday night and having burritos & rice for dinner, the hike out was much quicker. Where else would we have eaten lunch, but at Sand Pond, of course! (No pictures of Sand Pond, but some others are below. Click to see the full picture.)
Wow. Really cool. Almost as cool as the weekend we had at the coast…. it was freezing there! Haha…
