| Jim's Journal | We arrived at Blue Lake Park around 4:00 p.m. (campsite #69). Typical of the camps at home but with a large clear water beach. Dick made steaks for supper. It started to rain off and on through supper. Had a tarp up and stayed under that until around 10:00 p.m. There were thunderstorms all through the night. We did manage to go all through the gear before supper. We still had 9 packs total, a gear pack, 2 food packs, and 6 personal gear packs, plus 4 tents. Jim and Don were in Don’s Alpine Meadows, Steve and Dick in Dick’s REI, Terry in his MSR-Haba Haba, Bill in his REI half dome. We are using Terry’s MSR Simmerlite and the Dragonfly for stoves. | ||
