My Adventure Story

This is day 7 of a 20 day hike along the JMT. For the full hike report see http://daniels-eagle-scout-project.webs.com/hikereport.htm

Later on we stopped at Fish Creek for a lunch break and some fishing. The creek really deserves its name. Every cast was a bite and we got 10 trout.

 

IMG_1080.jpgOriginally we planned to camp at Squaw Lake and fish there too, but since we can't have a camp fire above 10,000 feet elevation, we decide to hike an extra 3 miles  over Silver Pass and go down to Silver Pass Creek. That way we had again yummy trout for dinner. These trout are such a treat!
