Some days just suck

Maybe that's a bit melodramatic, but we knew there would be days like this. 

By all accounts, this should have been a great day.  We had just spent 2 and a half days in Lake Tahoe (Heckle's parents sprung for a cabin and invited all her friends.  We ate we drank we watched Harry Potter movies.)

The Echo Lake water taxi took us on a beautiful ride across the  lower and upper lakes.  The weather was perfect, we were well rested and well fed.  Once the taxi dropped us off at the upper lake landing we started up the trail.  We hiked for two hours or more over rocky, foot bruising granite.  Somehow, our moods just got worse.  We made it seven miles to Suzie Lake and called it a day, ate dinner and went to bed.  That just seems to be the way it goes out here some days.
