Sheep Lake

Marci, Janae, Scott, Brett and I went for an easy 2 miler to camp at Sheep Lake. We picked the best two days to go. It was the last few nice days before the rains came. We got there around 5 and set up camp and started cooking our foil dinners. The winds picked up and gushed down in the canyon once the sun set so we called it a night around 9. Everyone migrated to the girls tent to play games, but ended up eating Oreos and watching a mini game of Connect Four. I used my moms great sleeping bag that was supposed to keep me warm. I thought I was going to die of coldness that night. :) So needless to say, I was the first one up in the morning and started the fire so i could defrost. The next day after we ate breakfast Scott, Brett and I headed over to the lake to do some fishing. We all caught some fish, but only kept 3 because they were small. I could have fished all day but the other girls were getting antsy so we took another short hike up to Crystal Lake. We saw some great views of Mt. Rainier, Adams and St. Helens. Cant wait till spring to do it again.


Cooking our foil dinners...we were ravenous!
