Headed out for the lake this morning (left the house at 5 am...yuk!) but it was worth it - 1 hour truck ride, 1 hour snowmobile ride in....only got stuck once on the snowmobile! Caught cutthroat trout and brook trout....was a fun day!
Was really worried on the drive to the lake....temp dipped down to -3....brrr....that's a cold ride on the snowmobiles! But by the time we got to the trailhead...it was a warm 10! And by the time we got to the lake...the sun was shining and it warmed up nicely.
Taking a minute to admire the view

Ice house setup but as you can see....Randy isn't fishing from inside it! I really didn't either...the view was way to pretty to be inside

Being from Tucson this is the way I like to see winter! Great photos, thanks for sharing!
Gorgeous views, Cindy. Glad you and Randy are hardy enough to go there in that cold.

Once you have the snowmobile suit, helmet and gloves on...you don't even notice the cold! And the Mission Mountain range is amazing.
Wonderful, beautiful set, Cindy. Thanks for sharing photos of the journey and fishing camp setup.
