Ruth Lake and Environs


One week post our trip up to the Ruth Lake area of the Uintas and I am already homesick. Ruthie finally got to try out her new frame backpack for an overnight up to Hayden Lake. Despite the pesty mosquitoes, we had an exquisite time. I must quit complaining about how much I miss the Minnesota Lakes. Ruthie and I had a delightful time swimming in Hayden Lake.

We came back from the hike with a pact to return this weekend. However, we learned upon our return that Harry and the Potters were on tour and would be making their stop in SLC tonight. Despite having had her best weekend yet this summer, Ruthie could not miss this very special event. Alan and I were a bit sad but decided to make the best of it. I took on a bathroom paint project while he decided to get up at 4am this morning to summit Gobblers Knob with the dogs.

Ruthie is excited for Wizarding World camp this week and I am busy coordinating the American Medical Writers Association Rocky Mountain Chapter conference this coming Saturday. Hopefully a planned family hike on the Bonneville shoreline tomorrow will keep us in condition for our next Uinta Mountains family excursion.
