I missed the first attempt Kelly made at finding the elusive Otter Falls with her mom around Easter. Since she doesn't always have the best sense of direction I volunteered to go along as navigator while she and Ryan searched for it again. Kelly decided to use the hike as training for the upcoming Enchantments trip, so I found myself stuffed inside a backpack full of the water and bags of rice she was using for weight. It was so crowded that I couldn't maneuver around to give directions when she pulled her pickup into the wrong trailhead. So we went the wrong way. Again. Sigh. The trip was not a total loss, however, as we found a trail to one of Washington's many Rainey Lakes. The trail got cold in the middle of what is probably a swamp after the snow melts. We didn't find the lake, but we did find plenty of snow. On the way back down I stopped to chat with a couple dogs, who were escorting another hiker, which is the only reason we found out where the trail went.
