Mt. Liberty

Tiny mushrooms on Mt. Liberty

#12 Mt. Flume

7/9/05 Hiked and camped with Gwen. We stayed at the Liberty Springs tent site. Backpacked up, set up our site on the 8th, hiked to Liberty again and then Mt. Flume on the 9th and back down the same day. There was a boysout troop staying up there the same night and the caretaker gave us a spot away from them. There was one cute little boyscout though who kept watching us and asking us what we were doing up there. Gwen told him we were looking for the McDonald's that was up there and he said "I wish there was a clothing store up here". He was like 8 years old. The scouts were eating macaroni and cheese from a can, ewwww. Gwen brought her Jetboil so we enjoyed some delicious dehydrated food (and I'm not even being sarcastic!). It started to pour the day of our summit and it just sucked the lives out of us. We went without talking for a long time. Thankfully, it stopped by the time we came back for our packs. We were totally soaked though so we changed before breaking down the tent and heading back down.
