backpacking brighton "lakes".

This last weekend a few of my friends and I went backpacking up near the Brighton Ski Resort. There are a few "lakes" up there. They are really just water reservoirs, but for some reason they call them lakes.  I think they have been taken over by mosquitos and turned into an all you can eat buffet for them. Seriously, the first words out of every hiker we passed on our way up was "i hope you have bug spray on!" And we were camping out up there...without a tent! Oh boy, what were we thinking. Good think Emmy and I came prepared with bug spray. Anyway, we still had fun and came back with plenty of mosquito bites. 

Here is a pic of the trail...(highlighted in red)

This sign is about 1/3 of the way up.

"lake" Mary.

"lake" Martha.

Somewhere down there is "lake" Catherine.

Remember the "mini" marshmallows on the first backpacking trip?...this time we brought "jumbo" marshmallows!

Me, Emmy, Shane, and Adam. 

So happy!
