That is such an awesome trip! I wish I were healthy enough to still do all that fun stuff! Those lakes were gorgeous. The fish looked good too...
I don't blame you for not wanting to swim in the icy water, those mountain lakes can be really cold! Did you have a chance to do any panning? The arrowhead find is really though!
Ya, it was a great trip! As I'm getting older these kind of trips are definitely getting harder, but I'm gonna keep doing it as long as I can! The fishing was really good, especially the first lake, fourth lake, and George lake. I didn't bring my gold pan cause I don't think there is gold in this area... or at least not enough to be worth it. The arrowhead find was super cool! I just got lucky and happened to look down just at the right spot. And it was mostly buried, but I saw a little bit of obsidian sticking out and it caught my eye because this area is just all granite. When I unburied it I couldn't believe what I had found. Probably been there for hundreds of years. The tip was broken off so I'm guessing that's why it was left behind.
Those are fun to find, Maybe it broke while flinting or broke off on a missed shot. Very lucky find indeed!
