With the threat of thunderstorms, we thought we would do an overnight at eightmile lake. Trail is in great shape.Lots and i mean lots of wild flowers.
This is a very hot trail, as their is not alot of shade.The devastation of the 98 fires is clearly seen. But nature in rebirth. enjoy the view. 2.5 hours to the lake. We are in no hurry. Nice sunny day turned dark quckley. A few rumbles
of thunder, 30 min of a shower, and that was it. The sun came out and was nice till we left the next morning. Had the whole lake to ourselves. I read a report of this same area. That person wasnt at the lake i was. This area is super nice. Yea its not the enchanments, but to get to 4600 feet in june is a blessing.{remember last year} Eightmile is a very nice lake and for those who dont know, you dont need the special camping permit until the 15 of june.
And to the guy asking all the questions. Why do i carry an ice ax. First, ice axes have many uses in the mountains. And to your next question? why aint I smileing. None of your beezwax. You rudeley push by us, carrying your waist
pack that weighed what. 10 oz? Mine was close to 25. pounds. Camera gear and all. Maybe i didnt have a smile on my face was because of you.Learn hiker ettiquete. Enjoy, the season is upon us.
