Fog rolled in soon after I took this foto about 20:15. Then around 3 in the morning we were awakened by a group of maybe 5 guys stumbling thru the woods and shining flashlights everywhere. They apologized for their intrusion. They had driven for many hours to the TH and started hiking around midnight or so and still had a long ways to go. They were scurrying about trying to find the Icicle Creek Trail where it leaves Lake Josephine to penetrate deeper into the Alpine Lakes Wilderness. After debating on whether or not to spend the night at the lake, they located the overgrown trail plunging downhill thru the bushes and chose to push on. Funny, at first I felt grumpy at being awakened, then mad, then scared, then started laughing and giggling at the absurdity of it all, and felt curious. I had to put my hearing aids back in my ears to speak with them and listen to them. I was glad to go back to sleep, and glad those all-night-hikes of my crazy youth were a thing of the past. Been there, done that, know I can do it again if necessary, & glad we didn’t have to.
