Friday: I opted just to relax and slept in, went to the beach, and then played silly games with silly friends for the evening...as for my photo of the day? I totally and completely forgot for one entire day to take a single picture...oops!

Saturday: This was the Great Sierra River Clean-Up - an event that the South Lake area AmeriCorps volunteers partnered with Clean Tahoe, South Tahoe Refuse. Cal Trout, and a bunch of other great area organizations to put on. We hosted clean-ups on 14 river and lake sites in South Lake and has a turnout of nearly 200 volunteers who collected over 2300 pounds of trash! Hurray for clean and healthy beaches and streams!

Sunday: After the clean-up on Saturday I picked up my stuff and left on ,my first ever wilderness back-packing overnight with a friend of mine in desolation wilderness. We hiked out to Ralston Lake from Echo Lakes on Saturday evening, made a warm dinner of soup and tortillas with cheese and then curled up in our sleeping bags for a night under the nearly full moon. This morning we had a leisurely breakfast and then took off climbing up Ralston Peak from the lake. Our route zig-zagged up the face of the mountain, over huge scree fields and through the little stream breaks then up the ridge line to the trail to the summit.
Taken Saturday on the hike in, the sun is setting over Echo Lakes
