Planned an overnight Kayak trip to Diablo, there's a first come first serve permitting system there... Ranger station in Marblemount said nope, all three boat in site permits are already issued for tonight.
Rats.
I knew it was risky, early August, perfect weather after a midweek rain and high temps clear into the low 80's.
Ahh well, backtrack 8 miles and then an additional 15 to Baker Lake as a back up.
It was packed with people too, boat in campsites on the East side were already inhabited... snagged the last car camping site up off Park Creek- a bit better than half way up the lake.
Windy so I left the Yak on the truck till morning., then it was perfect for a 3 hour Yak ensconced tour!
Only 2 mosquito bites also, I hate mozzys!
Full astern Capt'n, we seem to have hit an island
