Fishing and hiking

Alan is a fisherman. He brought his fishing poles in a long PVC tube. We absolutely had to get him to a place where he could get a line wet. There is a lake near Wolf Creek Pass where he and Donna have fished before. The Continental Divide Trail crosses the Pass so the plan was this: I drive Alan and Donna to the lake, everybody else goes to the pass. Fishing occurs at the lake, I bushwack around the lake and everyone else hikes an out and back portion of the the CDT. That group reached 11,600 ft. I stumbled over numerous blow downs and did my lap around the lake in 2 hours. Alan and Donna didn't catch a fish. That was our Thursday.
