Smoky Sawtooths

There were fires to the south of us, but we had two days of crystal clear weather while we were hiking and camping. On our last day we awoke to the smell of smoke, and the view had been transformed. The hike out was considerably easier, as it was more downhill, and we got to the boat dock about ten minutes before our intrepid speedboat arrived. The ride back to the lodge was even more exilerating than the first one, since our young pilot decided to take on some cross-wakes with a vengance. However, we made it back to the lodge, and took a dip in the lake to wash off some sweat before heading back to Portland. We drove straight through and arrived at 2:30 am.
