East Fork Foss - Necklace Valley — Wednesday, Aug. 31, 2022

Central Cascades > Stevens Pass - West
Adit

Spent several nights at locket - a secluded, difficult to reach lake involving several hundred steep, rooty, brushy feet of ascent *and* descent each way with incorrect paths that cliff out 30' above the lake. On the way back each night I was cursing my decision to not stay closer to the head of the valley, but the solitude was nice and the lake was slabby and deep. 

There's only one campsite with 2-4 tent spots. I didn't see anyone until Friday night, and the group declined my cozy invitation. Shame, because I'd carried a bottle of whiskey up before I remembered I can't stand the stuff, and lugged (most of) it back down too.

Some campers at la bohn on grass in the meadows near the likes... yikes.
