It was a beautiful day to take Texas Tim out for a short hike and a fishing trip.  Also along were Ruby, John, Pam, and Rich.  See John’s trip report here.  We all headed to Bear Lake so the fishermen could fish and the peak baggers could bag.

Appropriate that the Bear Grass was blooming on the way in to Bear Lake!

Nice frog ponds scattered everywhere in this upper basin.

Nice hike in a tight pace line.

After getting the fishing crew settled in, the baggers went to work.  It wasn’t long after John, Ruby, and I headed up the ridge before we heard our first fish on whoop!

John on our day’s summit, happy man!
