Lost Creek Wilderness Hike
24 mile loop, but we only went in and came out after one day due to weather. (And maybe a bit of ankle issues.)
So we spent our time exploring the historic sites a bit more.
Would love to have seen the place in it's hay day.
At the top of the next hill was a cable system. Not sure what it did.
Really cool terrain, with lots of places to explore next time.
We finally found camp and setup.
But, before the meals were cooked, the wind picked up and blew the tents over and threatened to blow the fire into the surrounding trees.
So we emptied the rest of our water to put it out and headed back down trail to a cave we found along the way.
Near as we can tell, it was used as a storage shed by the reservoir builders. Big enough that it had an existing fire pit. Vented well with air coming into the entrance and then up and out through several escapes around back.
Out of the wind, we hiked a half mile back to the creek to refill water supplies. Dinner and a couple of brews in a cave with a fire. What more can you ask for?
