Here's what I did last weekend!
Me, a buddy and his pup went up by McCall for a an over nighter backpacking trip to Hum lake. It was good conditioning for some of our upcoming adventures that will be 3 times as long, twice the distance and 10 times the difficulty as this. Packs weighed about 35lbs. total with tent, sleeping bag and all the other usual kit. The best part was that there was no one else there, except for a hippy that came through late afternoon and the fishing was awesome!! Also, there was a demon creature in the night, it's to scary to tell the tale here, so those who show up to pizza tonight will get the full scoop.
On to the pics!!!
The ridge we hiked up to to get to the lake. Trail wasnt always marked well and there was a lot of deadfall to jump over, crawl under and go around.
The destination:

After setting up camp we decided to try our hands at some angling
WooHoo! Success is ours! We only fished for about an hour and this is what we got:

Mmmmm...
Evening time:
The next morning we climbed up to a ridge/saddle to check out the ridge we have to climb over in August to get to Enos lake. It's going to be a treacherous 10 hour death march that's for sure. Here's a view of Hum lake from about half way up:
Another lake suitable named 'Mosquitos from Hell Lake'
Me and Z with Enos ridge behind us. We're climbing over that biatch in two months:
Any idea what kind of snake this is? He was just hanging out by camp enjoying the shade with us.
