Day 6 - Carlyle - Almost Silver L. and Back

Went to bed at midnight last night after a wicked awesome sauna. Didn't see my cousin since he stayed in town for Beerfest. Very, very good thing i didn't go since today would have been hellish. Still got to whet my booze appetite though, had a beer with supper and sipped on some Irish Mist while playing a quick round of bid euchre, lost by 10 points.
Made it to Bunnyrabbit in 3 hours and had an early lunch of Mac n' Cheese leftovers, not used to that much for lunch so was feeling extra groggy while trying to walk back up the trail. Almost tripped over myself a couple times. Really enjoyed the walk along the very spine of the ridge between Bunny and Silver lakes, views of Silver Peak and the Norway - Sandy group of lakes. Ran into some hikers on the second day out who tried to give us half of the freeze fried meals, we agreed that that would be a crazy bad idea and said no. On the way back, after pasing the Bunnyrabbit turn off, wandered not even 100 ft off the trail and stumbled onto a view of what must have been Hemlock L. Didn't look at it though so as not to ruin the surprise. While passing by Got cannonballed on the way back around Frying Pan Island and arrived back at camp soaking wet. Felt alright since I was bushleague sweaty, didn't do the boots any good though.
Almost forgot, found a bottle of table syrup on the trail just before Heaven L. and couldn't resist sipping on that all the way back to Carlyle; just flying down that trail! Cookies and milk waiting for us at camp. And then back to work carrying plywood around for the Gazunkie.
Mean steaks off the BBQ and had some red wine with dinner. Holy Luxurious Decadence!
After dishes were done we were put back to work ferrying arrivals from Learns Landing. Then off to the sauna again. Went a lot easier on me even though i stayed longer and was definetely sweating water by the end. I'm chalking that up to drinking more water today than i did yesterday.
Donated the table syrup and blueberries we took some time to pick on the trail to Camp in exchange for the hospitality (and the maple syrup of theirs we used up on the blueberry pancakes) Can't wait to see what they've got up their sleeve for the night of the 7th. Definetely missing the hammock and quiet evenings camping though.
