The climb 8/2/15

We started today at 9:00am in overcast conditions that changed to and from rain as we hiked. We climbed three thousand, six hundred feet up in 8 miles through gorgeous wildflower fields, and beautiful mountain views, ending around 2:00pm. We planned to go farther, but a storm asked us nicely to stay where we were, which was fine because we were right next to Taylor lake, around 11,600 feet. We hid from rain most of the afternoon,  but after a while the rain let up long enough to let us eat, and then watch
the clouds roll in, literally. We could no longer see the lake, mountains, or people's tents around us. It was so cool to watch. Supposed to be sunny the next few days, which would be nice.
