I think I might have killed Brett he's uh, he's already asleep in the tent
and he made the comment to me, "I don't know about this one man I think we're cursed."
And I go, "why?" He goes "I don't know things
just aren't going our way." I'm like "what do you mean?" He's like, "Well you
know a couple falls, it was a long hike,
the bear spray." We did have a bear spray incident where I accidentally
sprayed a little bit of bear spray. Somehow the safety clip
came off, I kind of shot it out for a half second,
it got all over the camera, kind of got all over me, it was on my hands but
luckily it didn't get in my face or anything. Side note,
I've been washing my hands so much I thought I had gotten it all, but I just
went and took a pee and my crotch is burning.
So just be aware that bear spray will linger for a little while.
Help I've fallen.
All right, what? The last half mile whooped us, kicked our butts, it gets
steep in a hurry and then all of a sudden, here it is, and
it is chilly. It's June, we're above the snow line,
there's a slight breeze, and it's cold. These lakes don't have a name so
we're gonna refer to this one as 8800. We're actually not going to
stay here for long, we're gonna hightail it up to lake number two
which I hear is quite the climb it's another
250 feet in elevation. We're going to get up there
and we're going to hurry up and set up camp because you never know when it can
start raining or snowing up here and then
we'll take a look around and we'll explore. Let's go Brett.
Harder than it looks.
But anyways we're not cursed, this isn't cursed,
this is the outdoors, things happen, beautiful places are hard to get to.
If you're prepared you get through it when things uh
when things don't quite go your way. And we got through it
and we've made it here and now we have this beautiful lake to ourselves.
I got my fleece on underneath. I've got my big puffy jacket.
But you know like I said the cold makes you,
the cold makes you feel alive!
I don't even know what happened at Cabin Creek.
We felt lost, we felt haunted, we felt tired, we were cold.
There was even stuff we didn't capture that happened like
on the way down I accidentally sprayed the bear spray again.
What is that, what did you do? I don't know they should make those
safety clips stronger so they don't get ripped off by your pack.
We are headed back to the trailhead right now which is a miracle considering
this guy decided to bear spray us. This is the second
time he shot off his bear spray today or yesterday and today. And this time I
didn't hit just me, Brett was hiking in front of me and I
hit Brett. So now we're both covered in bear spray
and we got to the bottom, to the end of the trail,
and the microphone on the camera, $300 microphone was gone. It was missing,
fell off on the way back. Even now it's like the curse has followed me
this is my second time trying to record this outro. I usually do it outside.
I go outside to do it and in the middle of it
the preschool next door lets out and there's all of a sudden screaming kids
behind me. So I had to pack up and I had to move it in here.
The curse of Cabin Creek will not leave me! But you know what,
that's the one Brett and I talk about. That's the one that we say
if we ever went back and we did any of these trips again
that's the one we would do again. Because that's the stuff
you remember out there. The stuff that challenges you.
Being lost and having to persevere and having to fight your way up to that
second lake. There isn't even a path to that second lake really, it's just
kind of like, I don't know, it's up there, find it.
Follow the sound of the water. When you finally make
it and you have that camp spot, you have that lake to yourself, there's
something about earning it that just makes it more
beautiful and more special and... yeah. It was just...
That was awesome. We definitely went a little bit more
bougie I guess is the term. A little less rugged
the next day after Cabin Creek or the the next trip after Cabin Creek.
Anyways thanks for watching and we'll see you next time.
