Another Run at Emigrant

Since the weather was so much better today than our 'interrupted' hike a few days ago we decided to hike back up to Emigrant Lake.  No rain was forecast, but we did take our rain gear... just in case.  As it turned out there was no need for anything but our Tilly hats and sunscreen. 

Lots of fishermen out on the shores of Caples Lake, but few hikers... seemed odd.  It was nice not to have a crowd hike up toward the lake.

We took a bit longer to reach Emigrant since we kept getting waylaid by frequent photos of waterfalls and wild flowers.  

Once we reached the lake Cooper was allowed off leash to chase squirrel noises.  He cannot seem to find the actual animal so he runs chasing the chirps.  

Cooper must have covered an extra 10 miles or more as he ran hither and yon.  He returned one tired puppy... as did we.  

Our last hike in the Sierra's until next year... unless we change our minds.
