With all the recent rain, we weren't sure what to expect for the day. Starting from Bear Lake, there was a mist that blew in and out. No view of Hallets from Bear - only an eerie quiet and a feeling that there should be a loon calling from the other side of the lake.
Three miles up to Lake Helene and the fog was still with us. Trees appeared and disappeared on the far side of the lake.
As if on cue, Richard made the sun come out right as we reached the tarns. It was a different day.
A small island of ice still floated in the upper tarn despite the weeks of baking heat. There was talk of jumping onto the ice, but a contest to stand in the cold water prevailed. We had two winners.
By the end of lunch, the sun was hiding behind the mist. Also hiding in the mist were the rain clouds which soaked us on the return trip. But it was worth it!
