Martin Bravenboer: Mountain rock

Martin Bravenboer: Highest La Bohn Lake

Martin Bravenboer: Circled in red is the point where turned around above the highest La Bohn Lake

Martin Bravenboer: Steepish gully before the point where we turned around

Martin Bravenboer: The rock does not look very steep in this photo, but this is where we got turned around. Liesl could not climb it. For humans it's relatively straightforward, though steep and exposed enough that you do not want to carry a dog up.

Martin Bravenboer: New objective: Chain Lakes, idea was to go the viewpoint in the middle to enjoy the Middle Fork Snoqualmie valley

Martin Bravenboer: Deep mine (could not see the bottom) in the middle of the Chain Lakes

Martin Bravenboer: Flow of rocks from the mine

Martin Bravenboer: This looked initially like a designated camp-site, but there was a lot of glass and order old garbage. Probably it was the shelter of the miners?
