Gee, we sure smell clean..., it must be the start of the trip! The full group lines up in front of South Lake. L to R: Margi, Dale, Julia, Sparky, Clare, Virginia, Amy, A.J., Bonnie, Lisa, Sharon, Anne.

Ranger Girl (Sharon) cheerfully leads us up, up, and up towards our camp at Bishop Lake.

The Inconsolables tower over our camp...

.. but Mt. Agassiz towers higher still, begging to be climbed!

Flowers and mountains aren’t the only interesting things around the lake. This weathered uprooted tree adds variety.

The view towards our destination tomorrow - Mt. Agassiz and Bishop Pass to the right. Meanwhile, Julia tends to some pack repairs.
