Let's nap an hour... or four...

Due to the combination of heat, not sleeping well the previous night, and our leisurely itinerary for the day, our happy trio decided to take a short nap near Shale Lake. But what started as a one-hour nap became two hours, which became three hours, which became nearly four hours. I was awake for most of the latter hours but despite not being a person who typically wastes daylight while on trips I knew these guys needed and deserved the rest. Well, at least until 6:00 PM when I realized we might cut it close in regards to reaching our intended high camp prior to dusk. Then it was time to continue our journey. Photo taken on July 17, 2015.
