White Pine Lake-Little Cottonwood Canyon

This is a beautiful hike and lake! You can camp here too...I want to so bad. I went with Dani and Brandon because Dave and Cass were both out of town...we had a good time. We thought we were hiking to Red Pine Lake...but nooooo...we hiked way longer...we took the wrong trail ;) I think we ended up hiking 9 miles instead of 6. We kept on saying...it seems longer than 3 miles...ha ha. Brandon was the guide. Brandon...any words you'd like to say?

Yo Bwandon...what up?
Poser...Daniela...Muy Bonita...besito.
So...I had my camelpack full of water and my new hiking poles...I was ready for this hike!! As we are hiking...I keep on trying to suck water out of the thingy and every time I do it, only a tiny bit of water would come out. Eventually, I started thinking that I had drunk (yes Brandon...drunk or drank...whatever!) all of my water. When we got to the top, I was so thirsty but I didn't want to ask Danielle or Brandon for water so I just sucked it up cuz I'm tough. When we had about 2 miles left, I took off my pack and I opened the zipper...and yes. I am so dumb! I put the platypus upside down so that water couldn't flow. My camelpack was absolutely full of cold water and I was so thirsty! Needless to say...I will never make this mistake again.

I love reading your blog because it sounds just like when you are talking. No change whatsoever! Looks like a fun hiking trip! Next time, I'll come along as a photo on your phone and you can show me all the nice places you have seen. That way, we'll always be together. Ahhh. Sniffle, sniff, snort.

First of all I would like to say that my hiking book is full of shit and needs to be updated.
Secondly, the genius wilderness people that put "trail" signs behind trees should get a raise and a certificate for there hard work. finally, white pine lake was sweet.

oh, and good job on putting your platypus upside down.
