Of course the La Sals are closer :)<br /><br />We met several backpacker coming down as we were going up and they said it rained all night up in the basin... and lightninged. It's humbling to be camped in a little tent above timberline when lightning is bouncing off the walls. Thanks for your comment and good luck with your new e book. Got to down load the kindle versions soon. <br /><br />Loyal Texas Fan,<br />That is music to my ears. I appreciate knowing that the BCB is reaching the hearts of "someone." It has been great run lately... good light, good skies, good clouds, good friends. Glad we could take you with us in spirit. <br /><br />Scamps,<br />Maybe next time... we're always up for a hike to Ice Lake. Grand Mesa looks great on your Facebook page, but I'm suspicious at your claim of "no misquotes." :0<br />Travel on... keep us posted... and consider a trip to Zion come November.<br /><br />Debbie,<br />"Bummed, jealous, glad, humbled, amazed and drained..." Wow, that is a "smorgasbord" of adjectives!!! Just think if you had been there :)). <br />Leonard is an endearing old soul... in a crazy sort of way. I hope you guys enjoy the rest of summer... it will begin to wane here in The Crevice soon. As it does my thoughts will turn to Ms Autumn, and her Golden Fleece. Thanks for commenting... <br /><br />Al and Karen,<br />Look us up when you return... Travel well, and thanks.<br /><br />Jim and Gayle,<br />Departing Lovely Ouray is like marrying off children: You miss them so much, but then realize you will see them again. The hike to Ice Lake is under six miles, but there are a lot of psychological "almost there" bends in the road to endure. If Kathy can do it, anybody can, right? Can't wait to show you the way, thanks for dropping by and sharing our hikes.<br /><br />Wandrin Lloyd,<br />It is an unforgettable hike, and the "Light" was on the day we trekked to Ice Lake. Maybe just a knee deep dip next time :)).<br />thanks <br /><br />Gaelyn,<br />Thanks. Your Lighning shots at the Grand Canyon are wonderful, too. Check Gaelyns link folks...<br /><br />thanks all!

Absolutely beautiful. But taking a dip in that ice water suitable to mix with Crown Royal.... No way. Even if I actually took the step in, there is not enough insulating fat to protect me from immediate hypothermia. I shiver with the thought!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13311083597294672388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134981800236544647.post-10427215666292590322012-08-03T07:49:16.686-06:002012-08-03T07:49:16.686-06:00Mark, just say the word and we'll be back in a...Mark, just say the word and we'll be back in a heartbeat to hike that trail with you! If only we had place to stay...<br />The story about Kathy was definitely inspirational. And who else but crazy Leonard would go for a swim in ice Lake.<br />Wonderful photos as usual.

First I was bummed that we weren't still there, then a bit jealous, then on to being glad to have met not only you and Bobbie, but Leonard, John Q, and the Scamps, being overwhelmed (understatement) by the scenery, humbled by Kathy, and finally amazed and amused by Leonard's version of the polar bear plunge. I feel drained..but in a good way...thanks!

Went on up to the upper lake and lolligagged around a bit, then on the way down passed a bunch of Outward Bound types wearing big packs and looking miserable. I felt kind of sorry for them, being in such a cool place and yet feeling tortured. Then it started snowing, of course, to add to their misery (this was in late August). But I sure enjoyed it.Spotted Dog Ranch:https://www.blogger.com/profile/15734250215386335527noreply@blogger.com
