Twelve Mile Camp - Day 3

After John & Mary picked us up from our Black Mountain hike, we headed back to Twelve Mile Campground for a much needed rest.  Then it was time for some afternoon fishing before completing our day with a side-by-side ride up Skyline Drive to High Top to watch the sunset.  What a wonderful way to end our three-day Wasatch Plateau adventure - truly an amazing place!  We'll be back!

We were curious to see if there were any fish in Twelve Mile Creek
These pools are perfect for Mary and her Tenkara rod

She didn't get any action so she waved her walking stick at the pool!
At least she's a good sport!

Back to camp for snacks and a little time of relaxation

Later we headed back to Blue Lake since the fishing was so fun on Tuesday

Kent was having fun watching the Tiger trout chase his grasshopper, but they wouldn't bite

Mary found the perfect place to sit and fish . . . she had so much fun! 

As you can see, she was the winner of the day! John proudly shows off her Tiger trout!

Heading back to camp . . . it was fun watching the clouds build in the afternoons . . .
 Fortunately, we only had one little rain shower during our stay

Allison prepared a 'Thanksgiving' meal for our final dinner . . . yum!

After dinner John & Mary drove us up Skyline Drive to High Top to see the sunset

Wow! Duck Fork is the lake is in the distance where John & Mary fished while we hiked

As our day comes to an end, the sun is setting behind Black Mountain . . .
Twelve hours ago we were beginning our hike up the mountain!
