Emigrant Wilderness, July 2000

Day 1: Start at Crabtree Trailhead, continue past Camp Lake, Piute Meadow, Piute Lake, Gem Lake and onto Jewelry Lake.  We camped just south of there.

Left: Not far from the trailhead we enter the Emigrant Wilderness, Hooray!  Right: We had to take of our shoes to cross the river here but what happened to the rest of my clothes?  If you look close you can see Henrik lurking in the trees with his jar of Vaseline.  Eeww…

Here I am on a lake that is turning into a meadow, can you say “eutrification”?

Left: This fabulous swimming area was just below our campsite the first night.  I do think that the camera makes my butt look wide.  Right: And here is our night 1 campsite.  The waterfall at the center and top of the picture is the same one you can see in the previous picture.  My tent here, a Coleman Peak 1, is great.  It weighs under 4 pounds and sleeps two, although it is cozy.  The best part is that you can get it for under $100.

After dinner we climbed a rock to watch the sunset and eat M&M’s.  Finally a picture of the photographer.
