Quick TR.
Lot more cars at the TH than I expected. Didn't see too many people out there. Did a little loop and checked out lakes 1-4 before heading over to long lake for lunch, then camped along the south fork lakes. Hiked out along south fork on sunday.
No Mosquitos but a ton of small black bugs that almost looked like skeeters. Felt like high 70's during the day, 30ish at night. Trail was almost entirely snow free. Heck, the whole basin was pretty snow free. Going to be a DRRRRRRYYYYYYY summer
