Didn&#8217;t make it to freezing but it sure felt like it. Weather wasn&#8217;t conducive to doing much so, it was nap time until dinner. Found a spot below a rock outcropping and had dinner. Cleaned up and then went to sleep.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.boogiewith.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/Sam-Island-Lake1.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.boogiewith.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/Sam-Island-Lake1.jpg?resize=247%2C300&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" title=\"Sam - Island Lake\" width=\"247\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-234\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.boogiewith.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/Sam-Island-Lake1.jpg?resize=247%2C300&amp;ssl=1 247w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.boogiewith.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/Sam-Island-Lake1.jpg?resize=843%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 843w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.boogiewith.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/Sam-Island-Lake1.jpg?resize=123%2C150&amp;ssl=1 123w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.boogiewith.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/Sam-Island-Lake1.jpg?resize=400%2C485&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.boogiewith.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/Sam-Island-Lake1.jpg?w=1263&amp;ssl=1 1263w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.boogiewith.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/Sam-Island-Lake1.jpg?w=1050&amp;ssl=1 1050w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 247px) 100vw, 247px\" \/><\/a>Walk out next morning was better. The wind had died down but it still was chilly. Lo cal lunch of salami, cheese, and Ritz crackers at 11:00. Yes, a bit early but trail lunch tastes 100 times better on the trail rather than back in the parking lot. Plus the view was much better, too. At the car about 1:00p.m. and home by 3:00p.m. Desolation Valley is a great resource for northern California.
