A short week end trip to Mirror lake

This Saturday, it was way to hot in Logan. Karen and I took the opportunity that the kids were still in Florida to "Pack the car and leave"

Decision made at 10 am to go to the High Uinta's and camp at Mirror Lake (10 000ft elevation). We left 1h30 later and got there in the middle of the afternoon.
We got lucky as we really took the last available spot at the campground.

After setting up camp, walking the dogs around the lake and fogging the area 20 times to try to get rid of the mosquitoes, we are ready to sit down and enjoy a nice hamburger ..... 
Problem, the fire pits here don't have a grill and we didn't pack one.... Solution ? The shovel that I keep in the trunk of the car... very useful shovel so far, helped me get out of the snow, helped get out of the sand and allowed us to enjoy a hamburger...



After the mosquitoes calm down, the dogs are walked again around the lake, we can all sit back and relax to enjoy Nature....
