Enchantments
August 12-14 with the ladies. My family for the weekend was Leigh, Deb, Stacy, and Catherine. Leigh entered the permit lottery earlier in the year and won a spot in the Stuart Zone. We hiked in to Stuart Lake Friday afternoon. Saturday was spent giving Deb birthday props, and day hiking to Colchuck Lake. Our ambitious fantasy was to hike to Colchuck, then ascend Asgard Pass and explore into the upper Enchantments. We nixed that idea after hiking to the far end of the lake and jumped into the water. Well, everyone else jumped into the water. I spent an hour submerged, moving slowly to my navel before abandoning the effort. After we sunned at the lake, we hiked back to camp and ate dinner. Stacy made and carried in brown butter-salted rice crispy treats for Deb's birthday treat (they were as tasty as they sound). The mosquitoes were thick, and we crawled into our tents before nine. After a lazy breakfast on Sunday, we hiked back to our cars. Humorous, brash, and witty group. Relaxing, restorative, invigorating weekend.
