I have no notes from this trip, as I did not start keeping a written hiking journal until the following year, so what I write here is from memory. We drove in on the Big Meadows Road to the Duffy Lake Trailhead and hiked in the 3 ½ miles to Duffy Lake.

| Moxie & Margie at Duffy Lake From Duffy Lake we took the Blue Lake Trail on up to Mowich Lake were we made camp on a small peninsula at the far end of the lake. I remember casting to rising fish on Mowich Lake in the evening from the raft, but only very small fish.

| Margie & Moxie at Mowich Lake campsite The next day we packed up the raft and hiked on up to Jorn Lake hoping for better prospects. I don't remember if we caught any fish there, but the photo reminds me we had a good time rowing around on the lake in the warm sunshine.

| Margie & Moxie on Jorn Lake The next morning at Mowich Lake, as we packed up camp to hike out to the car, I remember distinctly, flute music from another campsite called out across the lake, a mystical sound that filled the new morning with worship to the beauty of this natural setting of lake, trees, and sky.
