Lake (on the Chilkoot Trail)
“Probably all
about the weather but after being rained on for over 24 hours, we
arrived to Bare Loon Lake and sunshine. Also, since it was day 4 of the 5 day hike,
we had gotten to know the hikers It felt like we were all celebrating the sunshine and our last night on the trail with them. It definitely felt more like “Happy Camp”
than the previous campsite we stayed at on the trail called “Happy
Camp”.
