Lost Lake - June 2001

Lost Lake has become a favorite destination of ours for one very simple reason - the fishing is superb! This was our first backpacking trip as a group, and we had a tough time completing the 8 mile hike into the lake. Who had it worst - Jasmine, with her feet covered in blisters, or Jason, who ended up carrying her pack the last 1/2 mile? Take a look at the pictures below, and you'll notice the subtle signs that we had no clue what we were doing. Blue jeans, heavy packs, huge mess kits... this was before the advent of lightweight gear.
