The last weekend of August Justin, his dad and I went backpacking to White Pine Lake. It's actually really close to Red Pine which we've hiked to a few times before. White Pine is the left fork on that trail and we finally took it. We've heard that it's prettier and also an easier hike. Neither was true unfortunately but it was still fun. White Pine is less steep (or supposed to be- sure didn't feel like it toward the end there!) but longer (for sure!). The weather was amazing though and we found the best campsite. There was only one other group there so it was also quiet.
This may have been our last camping trip of the year :( Good thing we made it a long one!!
I don't think this picture does justice to the last ascent. It was a killer!
Our campsite! We found it this way. Thanks previous campers!!
It was right on the edge of a cliff overlooking the lake/pond.
Justin recently bought a green laser pointer. You know you've really made it when your laser is green!! It made the campfire smoke look really cool though. Just in time for Halloween!! Spooky!!!
The next morning we hiked around the reservoir and Justin had fun steering :)
These are my fluffy sleeping socks. They keep my feet warm. It was chilly the next morning so I just decided to hike down wearing them. Justin thought they looked funny with my hiking boots and thermals though :)
