McGowan Lake trip report

“I joined a group from the Yahoo Northern CA hiking forum over the 3-day weekend, most of whom have also been on TT hikes. It was very relaxing - we did almost nothing but sit around by the fire (yes, fire!) on Sunday and enjoy each others' company. My photos (and videos!) are here:

“very cool pictures. One of these days I would like to go winter camping with y'all”

“Well, ya gotta get yer butt back out to CA then!”

“I can't this yr. I have some week long trips planned already. Now if you can arrange something over the Christmas holidays I might be able to make that”

“Let's work on that!




I added a few pics to that album that other people took of me. The best one is the last one (before the video) - Songbyrd took one of my trying to chip my anchors out of the solid ice!”

“Sorry I missed y'all. It looks like you had a great time. Hard not to with that group.

Great photos and videos!”

“We just sat around all day on Sunday waiting for you guys. Well, laziness may have played a factor:

"Hey, how about heading up to Huckleberry Lake?"

"What if mtnsteve and/or paige show up?"

"Yeah, we better just stay here. Pass me the wine...."”

“Pass the huckleberries!

Nice report. Thanks.”
