Fish Lake Noarthern trailhead Parked at the parking area across the road from the Fish Lake trailhead North end of the Fish Lake trail Si Lake Box on far end of Si Lake - along Fish Lake trail Trail junction to Surprise Lake - trail is in very poor condition This was just north of the powerlines on the north end of Fish Lake Entering the powerline corridor north of Fish Lake The powerline corridor road has gotten a lot of work done to it.  Not sure why The powerline corridor road has gotten a lot of work done to it.  Not sure why Approaching the campsite at the north end of Fish Lake - that campsite area did not burn but pretty much everything else around Fish Lake burned Approaching the campsite at the north end of Fish Lake - that campsite area did not burn but pretty much everything else around Fish Lake burned Burn area around west side of Fish Lake Fish Lake with Olallie Butte in the background Heading up the hill on the south end of Fish Lake Fish Lake from the trail above it. Flat area above Fish Lake Area above Fish Lake- you can now see Olallie Butte thru the burned trees Fish Lake trail above Fish Lake Lodgepole Trail - heading down to Cornpatch meadows Had to look this up - these are used to sign a mountain biker trail - https://oregontimbertrail.org/ Cornpatch Meadow Cornpatch Meadow Cornpatch meadow Lodgepole trail south of Lower Lake junction - this area did not burn Sign for Middle Lake Middle Lake - Thor had to cool off Un-named lake south of Middle lake on the Lodgepole trial - it was almost dry Another unburned section of the Lodgepole trail - south of Middle Lake This was another un-named lake on the Lodgepole trail End of the Lodgepole trail - junction with Red Lake trail Fork Lake - it was pretty low Fork Lake sign This is the sign at the junction with the Potato Butte trail Juction of Red Lake and Potato Butte trails Potato Butte trail Entering the burned area on the Potato Butte trail Dry lake on the Potato Butte trail We took a wrong turn and headed to this lake - Zack noticed this sign - someone must have named it themselves - this is obviously not an official sign The self named "Linus Lake" at the base of Potato Butte Top of Potato Butte - the sign is gone Olallie Butte from Potato Butte Olallie Butte from Potato Butte Top of Potato Butte A gaggle of old insulators next to the Potato Butte trail - old maps show a phone line going to the top but I've never seen a phone box up there I think this is sheep lake below Potato Butte Hard to even see in the picture but this is part of the Potato Butte trail - that big tree is right across the trail These pieces of wire were right next to the trail - I'm thinking these were used to assemble the insulator halves and attach them to the trees. Dry lake at the bottom of Potato Butte - the trail skirts the north end of this lake/meadow The dark skies above Olallie Butte - they were actually darker than it appears in this photo - it had started thundering at this point - but no rain This is above Fish Lake - it was raining pretty good at this point Fish Lake Below, Sisi Butte in the distance - you can see the dark clouds - shortly after I took this photo it started sleeting/hailing
