After a long hike we finally arrived at our destination, Woodchuck lake. Before we knew it we were welcomed with a beautiful sunset looking out over the lake as we were setting up camp.
After a mediocre night of sleep (three Tatum's one tent) we awoke to a phenomenal lakeside morning of fishing, reading, and hiking. After packing back up to continue the hike, we soon found that the trail to our next destination (Marsh lake) was not so easily found due to the fact that it entered a dry creek bed. To no avail we split up, one on each side of the creek and one in the creek bed. Worry slowly came over the group after about 200 meters of searching for the trail with nothing to show. As soon as we were about to give up and back-track, the familiar signs of a well trodden path came into view, and with a sigh of relief we were back on track.
Then to add to the drama of the day david and I were struck with horror when Matt was no where to be found . . .
Then we heard a rustling in the bushes and there appeared Matt, knife in mouth claiming he thought he had seen the sasquatch that the Woodchuck Wilderness is so well renown for.
We searched high and low but could not find his hiding place and were forced to continue our trek.
As we continued our hike toward Marsh lake we were struck by the site of a peak on the side of the trail. Seeing that we had plenty of time we decided to go up to see the view. We were greeted with a fantastic view from the top of what turned out to be multiple different peaks.
After a little bit more time on the trail we found a surprisingly striking Marsh lake.
After setting up camp at our new destination, we decided to do a little bouldering above our camp, which quickly turned into a mountain scaling race between Matt and me. To David and my dismay Matt was not to be found again. After hours of searching david couldn't help but jump for joy once we found Matt.
Once everyone was dry and dinner was had we settled in to a much better night of sleep that was followed with our hike back to the truck to cap off a wonderful trip
