Lost Lake and Miscellany

Brad, the kids and I went to sample Lost Lake. It is a few miles up the road from Roosevelt Lodge. Wood and Susan went to sample Trout Lake and we were going to meet them at the lodge when we were done. I really like the hike into Lost Lake, the hillsides are covered in wildflowers and you hike through a dense forest at the end. It was Caleb's turn to sample the inlet so we had to wade through a marsh to get to it. Other than that it was a very enjoyable hike.


This last picture shows that Rachel is growing to be a first-class ham. We found a spine of some really large animal (I think buffalo) and she wanted me to take a picture of her pretending that it was her vertebrae that was lying on the side of the trail. Whatever!

We hiked down to the lodge and had dinner there and drove up to Mammoth to stay in the hotel there. Other than the kids having to sleep on the floor, it was a relaxing evening. The next morning we sampled six road side lakes and then headed for home. We managed to tree some wild animals next to one lake. We had one more stop before we got home; Kilgore, Idaho.
