Each year for the Fourth of July weekend we plan big and spectacular hiking or backpacking trips. This year was no different. And like every year, it didn't go quite as planned, which is sometimes fun and adventurous, and sometimes results in "desert pinstriping" on your much-wider-than-that-narrow-4x4-US-forest-service-road truck. So, our truck has a few new, uh, racing stripes this year. Next year we may try something totally different and crazy, like barbecuing at home.
In any event, last weekend's trip was out over Sonora Pass into the Sweetwater Mountains. We spent our first night at Lake Lobdell, a small reservoir in the heart of the Sweetwaters. The sunset was typical of most desert sunsets - colorful - and the water on the lake was surprisingly calm for the evening.
More about the Sweetwaters and photos from Mount Patterson and Wheeler Peak to come!
