Walkin' to the Lizzle Fizzle Crizzle (Lake Forest Creek)

Today Lizza, Kate, and I went on a little hike in the Beartooth Wilderness.

The hiking book told us about a nice little day hike, about 10 miles, to a beautiful lake and back. We thought, "what a great idea!". We packed my backpack (which I had to carry) with a jug of water, (no map), graham crackers, and bugspray. Then we hit the trail.

I encouraged everyone to drink lots of water
Lizza wasn't sure about drinking water from a milkjug
Kate, of course, committed completely

It was a very nice hike, in the beginning. We chatted, drank water, enjoyed some waterfall, and encountered some very sweet pack dogs. We wondered if they would carry our things, but they were not thrilled with our ideas.



After hiking for a few hours, we thought to ourselves "shouldn't we have reached the lake by now?". Confused, we asked passing hikers if we were near the lake.

"Oh no", they chuckled. You are still about 4 miles away from THAT lake. It was getting late so we decided to turn around. After all, we had to go to Bogarts for dinner and margaritas tonight!

Jim and Mary forced us to drink beers and margaritas.
There was lots of money on the ceiling, someone made it rain.
