Jean has to work this beautiful weekend so Hank and I are at Crystal Mt.

It does not sound like the best campground around however it really is a nice place when you have the whole place to yourself.
Yesterday Hank hiked up to Hen Skin Lake.

And yes not a cloud in the sky

The first time I was at Hen Skin Lake was in 1959 with Dad and his friend Jim Hogan.  That was a long time ago.   I think it was 1959 because I don’t remember ever going fishing with Dad when we lived in Enumclaw.

 

Hen Skin Lake    5552 elevation

This picture is from the mid 60’s.  I can tell by pack boards they were made around 63 or 64.  I think this was taken on the trail to Hidden Lake, we used to go there a lot for the big trout.

 

Here are a couple of pictures of where we are camped:

Looking up to the ridge line.

Last night Hank & I went for a walk in the dark.  He was exhausted when we got back home however when I said walk he was up and ready to go.  We had a good weekend.
