Friday night we got to camp and got set up just in time for it to start to rain. We sat in the truck, by the lake for a while hoping for a break in the rain so we could fish before it got dark. All the fire restrictions are in place, so no camp fires for this trip. We finally gave up in trying to fish so we sat under a tarp by the warmth of the propane lantern and watched it pour til we decided to got to bed.
Saturday was still a bit over cast and very wet, but that was fine since we were hiking into Mystic Lake. The hike was great, not to hot, and we both felt much stronger than in years past. Once to the lake we hiked a bit further down shore to find a perfect fishing spot.

We enjoyed the day fishing and napping (well, I napped...) I caught a nice little rainbow, actually the biggest fished I’d ever caught up to that point. The PJ caught a fish right as we were getting ready to call it a day.

As we were getting ready to go we stop to enjoy the beautiful view one last time, when PJ said he had a surprise for me. He then pulled that little box every girl knows out of his pocket and asked me to marry him. I, of course, cried and said yes.

After we both calmed down a bit we headed back to camp, I smiled ear-to-ear the whole hike out. We did stop along the way out for a couple nice river photos of me and the new bling too.

The day wrapped up with bbq dinner lake side, and a little last fishing.
Sunday morning we enjoyed camp breakfast (camp food is always soooo delicious!) Even though we forgot a spatula for the pancakes PJ saved the day, and I still got pancakes and an omelet. We went back to fishing for a bit. Just as we were about to give up thinking we’d been skunked for teh day, I caught one last nice brown trout to top of the weekend.
