Finally got to go BPing after not having gone in the last two years due to work commitments.
Took off from the Eagle Falls TH around 12:30 and parking was a ****. The crowds were even worse.
- View of Lake Tahoe going up towards Eagle Lake
- Above Eagle L. from the trail
Got to Fontanills Lake in the evening and the mosquitos were out, good thing it was breezy as that kept the mosquitos at bay. Set up camp and had a nice evening. In the morning woke up and took some pictures.

This day was a layover day and while others went fishing, I decided to climb Dicks Peak.

After I got back we hiked up to Dicks Lake to do some fishing. C&R many brookies in the 8" - 10" range

On the way out we wanted to check out the Velma Lakes.

All in all it was great to get back out into my beloved Wilderness. We all had a good time.
