Much cooler temperatures than last week. Much cooler. There were some clouds that were swirling and threatening and a fair amount of breeze. The fishing suffered as a result. So.......if I am going to get the calm late evening and early morning fishing, I've no good hike in/out options. I will have to overnight. And backpacking in the cold is something I've done only rarely. If I am going to do it this year, it will be Meadow Lake.
I've never been to Meadow Lake. I've heard the fishing is good. It's five miles from the Crystal Lake TH (and a relatively level five miles at that). I've also been able to confirm that there is on old cabin and some old mining activity. That will have to wait for nest summer.
I didn't see the goats at all. But about 2 miles in I came across some blue grouse that were working over some grass. I got withing ten feet of one of them and just stood there for two minutes speaking to them in soft tones. I seriously wonder if I haven't got some kind of special ability with certain wild animals now. I used to hunt grouse you see. Now, I don't. Perhaps they can sense this?

Hey John,
Ryan from the BX here. Nice profile pic! Is that the Russian general you were telling me you resemble? It's really not a bad likeness! Enjoyed reading your posts, especially about that gelato in Vegas!
