Backpacking trip in the Desolation Wilderness Area near Lake Tahoe, CA.

Upper Young Lake

Stumbling across Jackass creek to go down to see the sunset at the beach (which we missed). Evidently we finished off the flask of 100 proof peppermint schnapps at the beach and I misjudged this crossing coming back in the dark and ended up in the creek. Now I know why they call it Jackass Creek, they must have prophesized my coming. Needless to say, I will not be taking 100 proof anything on any subsequent trips.
