Day two was an interesting day (I suppose each day was interesting in its own right). Had another big day ahead of us. Made the hike from Lake in the clouds to Government Peak and then land in Mirror Lake for some beautiful shoreside camping. Had a lovely view and a clear canopy for stargazing. Before our day got started though we took a little aside, the map we got of the Porcupine Mountains indicated a historic mine not far from our Day 1 campsite. Naturally before we rolled on outta there we had to find it…… oh boy and we did. The weather forecast was constantly changing but before we lost signal we downloaded the “current forecast” and it indicated we would have rain in our future….
Day two was the hardest day of the hike, it had the longest distance traveling with packs and the biggest changes in elevation. So we were preparing to hike at least half of the day in rain gear. 8-9miles depending on if you go by the map vs. The trail heads/markers. MIRROR LAKE HERE WE COME!
