Was good to get out and stretch the legs. Took the back door to Lillian and on to Beaverpuss Lakes. Haze wasn't too bad although not much for distant views. A nice breeze kept the heat and bugs at bay for the most part. A few phone pics.

Great to see a report from you Tom. Lovely waters. Looks like a good day out there.

I think I read somewhere you were having foot problems. How'd you fare?

[Tom]

Thanks, the feet did surprisingly well. First hike in 2+ years. Plan is to build up and see how it goes.

Ha yes, hopefully he'll live up to his old namesake.

Lovely photos of an always beautiful area. Best wishes on your road to full recovery. I feel your pain having been on, and still on, that foot recovery road myself.

Is that a real name or did you make it up? Best I could come up with was "pond"

I actually found the name in Fishing Kittitas County Mountain Lakes. Just put up some scans of the book here. Rampart Lakes were also known as Archipelago Lakes.
