Jameson's first campout as an official 12 year old scout was a backpacking trip up to Alexander Lake.
Friday morning we packed up our packpacks, drove up as far as we could, and then hiked in just about two miles to the campsite.
Despite hours of casting and sitting, and despite attempts with power bait with floaters, and power bait without floaters, and spinners, the brook trout just weren't bitting. Nobody in our group caught any fish.
Fortunately we did not rely on our fishing skills for dinner, and we brought up some tinfoil dinners just in case. As you can see, it is always good to have a backup plan.
Jameson went up with his scout trop 1651, which included Scoutmaster Mike Sonntag, Assistant Scoutmaster Mike Haney, and from left to right on the log, Jameson Kelley, Alec Anderson, Ryan Anderson, Tyler Lewis (hidden), and Rhet Haney. I (Dave) am never shown because my favorite spot is behind the camera. I had a great time with Jameson on his first backpacking trip.
The lake is located in the Uintas, approximately twenty miles up the Mirror Lake Highway outside of Kamas, UT.
