Thursday, August 10th --
They woke up at ?:??am. They left my friend's place at ?:??. They reached the trailhead at ?:??. When they
reached the creek with one mile left in the hike, they discovered that it was no longer a creek. It was a raging
river! It was so high and strong that there was too much water for them to cross the river in order to get to the
lake. So they went to the "backup lake". The hike to it was very tough. It took them a long time to get to it
because of how much more difficult was the hike -- very uphill! My friend's legs even cramped up a little bit.
They arrived at the lake at ?:??. They set up camp, quickly ate some granola bars, and then started fishing.
Like last year, for dinner, they ate smoked salmon with crackers and Ramen. They were exhausted from the
hike and hit the sleeping bags at ??:??.

Sunday, August 13th --
My friend and my brother got up at ?:??. As usual, they quickly ate breakfast and then went fishing for the
last time during the trip. Between ?:?? and ?:??, it sprinkled heavily. My friend stopped fishing at ??:?? but
my brother continued because he hadn't caught anything that morning. He didn't catch any, but he did have ?
hits. After he finally stopped fishing around ??:??, they ate lunch, packed everything up, and began hiking
down the hill at ??:??. They arrived at the truck at ?:??. Finally, they arrived at my friend's place at ?:??
that night.

Summary -- It rained alot! Friday was almost a bust regarding fishing. They were lucky it didn't rain on them
as they either to or from the lake. They did get some good fishing in and my brother wasn't sure how many fish
they caught, but it was alot. They caught nothing over 12 inches during the entire trip. Bummer!!! The fish were
stocked as opposed to the cutthroat trout in our favorite lake. It wasn't much fun, but they caught so many that
it was almost funny at times. They were trying to catch the smallest fish and my friend had the record when he
landed a 5-incher. My brother landed the "whale" of the trip, tipping the scales at 7 inches! All and all, it was
fun and relaxing.
