Annual Diva Backpack: Fourth of July Lake

It's that time of year again, where us wimmin-folk throw on our packs and go out to play in the dirt for a few days without our men to keep us safe from bears and marmots. Somehow we survive without them - amazing, I know. This year our destination was Fourth Of July Lake in Mokelumne Wilderness, a beautiful lake with beaches, tasty fish, and sprawling campsites. There was no swimming and margaritas this year, however - instead we were treated to a morning dusting of snow, blasting winds, and far below freezing temperatures. And, as always, we had a great time. Thanks Selena for the amazing pan-fried trout!

My camera wasn't out as much on this hike as usual, mostly because I didn't want it to be blown out of my hands. I'll get to the few photos I took sometime...but in the meantime, here are links to Maria's photos and Theresa's photos. They did a great job of documenting both the scenery and the fun.
