July 23 

Today we hiked a trail across the street from our campground.  It took us down to the Gardner River.  The hike was straight down and then straight up.  I was a little nervous about finding a bear (because Glen would not buy bear spray at $50 a pop) but I kept singing (and then put my playlist on. Glen made fun of me but,

This guy was huge, and not afraid of us a bit.

The water was about 41 degrees, I couldn't keep my feet in.

later I did here him singing too..haha.

On the way back we were checking out animal scat to see what is around us.  We saw lots of what we determined to be Elk scat, we guessed because we have seen lots of Elk in and around camp.  

We were confused by an enormous about of grape size scat until we came upon this large, what I called, a Jack Rabbit. Largest rabbit I have ever seen!

The day was capped off with a meal of fresh caught Lake Trout.  Glen seasoned it, added butter and lemon juice, wrapped it in foil and baked it over a wood fire. With wild rice and greed salad we ate like royalty!
