It was high time to get out of Dodge. All week Matt, Todd and I worked through plans to head backpacking somewhere this weekend. After poring over maps and debating the relative merits of various locations we settled on the Grandaddy Basin in the west-central Uinta Mountains. Grandaddy Lake is of course the most popular lake in the Basin, so we had pretty much resigned ourselves to first reaching Grandaddy Lake then heading either east to Fern Lake, or west to Mohawk Lake in search of solitude.

I geocoded photos and embedded them in Google Earth to show the locations where they were taken. That file is attached to this post.

Thanks for the TR. Betsy is one of my favorites. Bummer about the fish. Hammocks have never been on my list. For me they are comfortable for about an hour then I have the need to be flat and really stretch out.
