Another Park with Mostly Tree Prisons (Day 110)
So the north part of the park has all these hiking trails, but the ranger informs me that they’re all tree prisons (not her exact words). But then there’s this hike-in lake that, she says, has pretty good fishing.
No park rangers have ever fished. I’m sure of it. Well, whatever.
It was about a 4 mile round-trip hike to this lake and, yes, tree prison. The lake was okay-looking. I saw fish jumping, but none biting. Went to the river nearby — similar story. I’m trying to figure out how this took an entire day. Eh.
The lake.
The river.
The fishing gear.
The ferry.
I think I needed rooster tails. Was there two and a half hours trying to catch something. That was probably enough to prove the point.
Also! Did laundry at the campground when I got back. And took a cold shower that cost me $2. And it got down into the low-30s that night.
