Today was full of surprises. Starting from the moment we hit the trail, at 8:30!! That's pretty good for us since we normally don't get on trail until around 9:30-10. As we went down a hill we noticed some raspberries, lots of raspberries, so naturally we sat down and ate our fill. Coming up a mountain that was very dry, and hot we both smelled a camp fire, which would be weird that early in the day. Upon summiting I saw a pile of smoking embers near the bottom of a dead stump, and no one around. I did Smokey proud by putting the fire completely out, all naturally, and honestly feel like I prevented a wildfire. We passed a fold up sports authority chair, which I relaxed in for a moment, brought to you by Sports Authority. After the desert environment, we entered a wet, green, luscious aspen forest, that changed from all aspen to all pine in a matter of steps, very cool. We ended our 19 mile day on the edge of twin lakes, which is huge, watching the sun set over mountains reflected in the lake below them, sitting by a nice warm fire.
