Boy Scott Labor Day Fishing Trip -- 2007

Our 2nd annual 'Boy Scott" backpacking / fishing trip --- to Rainbow Lake northeast of Steamboat Springs.

Notes:

• 13.6 miles round trip
• 1300' elevation gain
  
• 8 good-sized rainbow ( I think ) trout harvested
  
• No casualties.
• Our 1st experience backpacking past sundown and in torrential rain.
• Witnessed a pair of bald eagles fishing--spectacular!
  

Lessons Learned:

• Powdered eggs are not suitable for human consumption.
• The beetles are winning -- better get out and enjoy the trees while they are still there!
