Jean has to work this beautiful weekend so Hank and I are at Crystal Mt.
It does not sound like the best campground around however it really is a nice place when you have the whole place to yourself.
Yesterday Hank hiked up to Hen Skin Lake.
And yes not a cloud in the sky
The first time I was at Hen Skin Lake was in 1959 with Dad and his friend Jim Hogan. That was a long time ago. I think it was 1959 because I don’t remember ever going fishing with Dad when we lived in Enumclaw.
Hen Skin Lake 5552 elevation

This picture is from the mid 60’s. I can tell by pack boards they were made around 63 or 64. I think this was taken on the trail to Hidden Lake, we used to go there a lot for the big trout.
Here are a couple of pictures of where we are camped:
Looking up to the ridge line.
Last night Hank & I went for a walk in the dark. He was exhausted when we got back home however when I said walk he was up and ready to go. We had a good weekend.
