What Lake?

A couple of weeks ago a bunch of us (Brett, Jess, Sara, Ben, Ritchie, Kara & I, to be exact) decided to go hiking up at Snow Lake. We didn’t realize until we were up there that it wasn’t named that just because it sounds pretty. There were still feet of snow on the ground (even though it was in the 70’s). It was ~45 minute drive to get out there, so there was no way a little snow was going to turn us back. We started hiking, but it was kind of hard to follow the trail since you couldn’t really see one! We ended up following footsteps in the snow (because whoever walked there before us MUST have known where they were going!) Periodically someone would throw a snowball and we’d all stop hiking and break into a full-on snowball fight! We made it about one mile up the trail before we got to a waterfall that we had to cross... It seemed like a good place to turn back. On the way back we started feeling a bit more adventurous, so we started hiking off the trail. The only problem was the snow was covering holes so you’d take a step and your foot would go right through the snow! It was a lot of fun, but now I actually want to see the stupid lake! Hopefully we’ll all go back sometime this summer when the snow’s all melted.
