Winter is here and I've finally found some time to post this trip report. We went for two nights to Louis Lake, a 5 mile hike outside of Twisp, WA with my four boys on the third weekend of September. This was their first multi-night trip and they did a great job. Still young, so they couldn't pack too much but they helped with the light but bulky stuff: sleeping bags, tents and pads. My desire to get packing ASAP has caused me to go out and buy good lightweight (but expensive) gear. Oh well. Most of all, they provided great company.
The first night they stood all night and stayed awake, worrying about the boogie man, but learned to settle down and sleep by the second night.
Perfect weather, well maintained trail, no bugs and good food. We even made fresh doughnuts from scratch on Saturday night and stuffed ourselves with as much rainbow trout as we could eat.
I went with some friends who are very experienced outdoorsmen, but had never been around goats. Now they're hooked!
