Headed out with too-high expectations for this trip. First, I didn't realize my planned route in took me around three dammed lakes. Agnew was low and looked stagnant and gross. Gem only had a small bathtub ring, but it just took so long to get around the thing and I didn't think it was much to look at. I took the shorter route from there and skipped Waugh (heard it was half-empty, which is a step up from completely empty as it was a few years ago). My mood was not improved by the fact that all my music had been deleted and I was stuck with podcasts about air pollution and the damming of the Colorado to listen to.

Things turned up after I reached the real lakes. Thousand Island is beautiful and I found a really nice, sheltered campsite. I felt much better off than the folks who camped on a peninsula and were battered by freezing winds all night - just one reason to camp off the water. There were no mosquitoes, but they're starting at the lower lakes with more trees.

On my second day I packed up and hiked out to Ediza, only to decide that I really didn't feel like camping there and return to my first site. The log crossing at Ediza appears to be washed out and the slope up to Iceberg was very snowy. Camping area on the far side of Ediza looked like it'd be hard to find a dry site too.

The weather got interesting on my way back to TIL! Things really started coming down on my way back up the hill to Garnet. I got a break as I was hiking over the little pass, then it started thundering and hailing as I descended to Garnet. I didn't waste much time from there. Luckily the sun popped out in time and I didn't have to set up camp in the wet.

On my hike out, I took the shortest route that descends the chute above Agnew. It was much shorter and sweeter than the way in.
