Emigrant Wilderness, July 2000

Day 2: Continue past Deer Lake, Buck Lakes, Emigrant Lake, Blackbird Lake, and onto Maxwell Lake where we camped.

Left: Breakfast on day 2.  Although I wrote above that we had bagels for breakfast, this picture appears to show us eating cereal, probably granola with powdered milk.  This is one of my ideas that Henrik has embraced.  We walked from camp 1 without eating until we reached this lake, then climbed up the rocks per Henrik.  I really like his idea of striking camp and eating breakfast after walking a while as it allows you to relax in a new spot, usually with warmer weather.  Note my running shoes and cycling socks.  Right: Henrik’s taped feet get some air during lunch on day 2.

On the trail during day 2.  Note the yellow fabric I sewed onto my pack to make external pockets.

Left: Relaxing before entering the meadow in the background.  It was one of the prettiest meadows I have ever been in, maybe close to what Yosemite Valley was like before all of the people, but full of mosquitoes.  Although we had DEET, I literally ran through most of the meadow.  I would love to go back much later in the season.  Right: Our campsite above Maxwell Lake on Day 2.
