No unexpected surprises today except we saw other people. About 1/2 hour into our hike we met up with 2 young guys going South to North. What we had planned on doing in 4 days will likely take 5 and those 2 were hoping to get out today on their 3rd day. Later saw some others when we were going up Snow Creek. They were on the other side of the creek so we didn't get a chance to talk to them. We went down to Snow Creek and good thing we did - the ridge from the 3 Nemo Lakes to the col/pass at the head of Snow Creek looked very difficult and unrelenting. We hiked up to the ridge from the col and for the first time we had an enjoyable ridge walk. We got off the ridge before the first lake and after the "summit". lots of elevation loss to get to the lower lake, lots of bugs there so we went up to the second lake. Made camp about 5:00 pm. Not a ton of bugs, not too hot, not too stiff or tired. I went for a swim in the like when we got here. That was surely refreshing and somewhat cleansing. About 8:00 pm now sand we are in our tents to get away from the bugs. Tomorrow's hike will be challenging ridge walks or bush bashes just like so many other days so far.
