The lower section of Babe Haught has been worked on some since I'd last did this hike. Every other section is the same. Once crossing the rim road and descending toward the lake, there are a bunch of new deadfalls and still quite a few big snow patches. Passing through each of the Eastside camps made me somewhat abashed to be a human. WTF is wrong with people that they can't carry out their own garbage, pathetic! Rednecks with riffles, I suppose. The lake was essentially full with every side drainage still seeping into the basin. At the north end, water was spilling over the causeway where a lot of flotsam and jetsam has accumulated. Took a quick break near the boatramp to enjoy a banana and cold beer. When we crossed back over FR300, a lone motorcyclist passed us, so I'm assuming the road is now open. We saw nobody else on the entire hike.
