Headed up the Mirror Lake highway with Mike Dawson and his two oldest sons, Conner and Keegan. We were informed at the gate that only the first four campgrounds were still open; The Forest Servide had shut the higher elevation ones down already. It was 93 degrees in the Salt Lake valley and they had already shut the campgrounds down??? Anyway, the ones that were open were full so we walked into one of the nice ones up high (at about 9000') and camped there.

On Saturday afternoon we did the quick hike to the summit of Mt. Baldy, elevation approx. 11,600 ft. Had a wonderful meal of mac-n-cheese and hot-dogs and s'mores. Fished for about an hour on Sunday (caught one little rainbow trout).

Anyone else think Mike has a grin like the Joker on Batman?
