Day 15 of Lupe’s 1st Summer of 2022 Dingo Vacation to Wyoming!<\/em><\/p>\n

6-30-22, the wee hours, Upper Crow Creek Lake<\/em> – Coming to for the 2nd time tonight, SPHP stuck the little flashlight out of the tiny house, and swept the faint beam around the surrounding area.<\/p>\n

There she was!\u00a0 15 feet away, Lupe was laying all by herself out on cold, bare ground, silently contemplating the brilliant stars in an otherwise ink black sky.\u00a0 Sniffing the night air and listening, she glanced over.<\/p>\n

I’m fine, SPHP!<\/em><\/p>\n

Yeah, I see that, Loop.\u00a0 Glad you’ve got sense enough to never wander too far off and get lost.\u00a0 Still, I always feel like I’ve got to check on you every so often.\u00a0 Maybe you ought to come back into the tiny house?\u00a0 Warm up, and have a nice snooze.\u00a0 Big day coming up.\u00a0 Mount Fitzpatrick<\/span><\/a> (10,907 ft.)<\/span><\/strong>, if we can get there!<\/em><\/p>\n

There’s something primeval about the night, SPHP.\u00a0 I love being out here!<\/em><\/p>\n

I know.\u00a0 I always feel it, too.\u00a0 The night whispers to one’s soul, especially alone in the wilderness with the unfathomably ancient universe ablaze above.\u00a0 Well, enjoy, but don’t stay out too long.\u00a0 Don’t fall asleep out there.\u00a0 You never know.\u00a0 We may not be as entirely alone as it seems.<\/em><\/p>\n

First light, Upper Crow Creek Lake<\/em> – Wrapped in her red sleeping bag, the Carolina Dog was snoozing peacefully, all toasty warm.\u00a0 Across the lake, Peak<\/span> 10525<\/span><\/a><\/strong>\u00a0was exquisite in the morning alpenglow.\u00a0 SPHP felt restless and uneasy, maybe a bit queasy.\u00a0 The sky promptly clouded up, the alpenglow vanishing.\u00a0 Suddenly, Peak 10525 was drab and lifeless compared to what it had been only moments ago.<\/p>\n

Should probably get going, but lethargy triumphed.\u00a0 Maybe it would be better to wait a while, get some more sleep?\u00a0 Simply smart to give this summer day a chance to soften the snowfields on Mount Fitzpatrick’s steep N face, right?\u00a0 Seemed logical enough, and a perfect excuse.\u00a0 SPHP took an Alka-Seltzer Cold Plus, rolled over, and tried to get back to sleep.<\/p>\n

Morning, Upper Crow Creek Lake –<\/em> Yikes!\u00a0 That certainly worked.\u00a0 Nearly 10:00 AM!\u00a0 Although still not all that energetic or confident, SPHP did feel better.\u00a0 Resting nearby in brilliant sunshine, Lupe was outside the tiny house again, calmly watching the world.<\/p>\n

Shoot!\u00a0 You should have woken me up, Loop!\u00a0 Didn’t mean to sleep so long.<\/em><\/p>\n

Hated to do that to you, SPHP.\u00a0 You were really sawing wood.<\/em><\/p>\n

You mean snoring?\u00a0 I never snore.<\/em><\/p>\n

Oh, really?\u00a0 Coulda fooled me, SPHP!<\/em><\/p>\n

Well, never mind that.\u00a0 Getting you some Taste of the Wild.\u00a0 Eat it quick, and we’ll split some beef jerky as a morning picker-upper.\u00a0 Then we better get with it.<\/em><\/p>\n

Beef jerky?\u00a0 Awesome!\u00a0 Bring on that Taste of the Wild, SPHP.\u00a0 It’s doomed!<\/em><\/p>\n

10:02 AM, Upper Crow Creek Lake<\/em> – At least someone was feeling feisty!\u00a0 Right after setting out, the were-puppy attacked, forcing SPHP to fend it off or get bitten.<\/p>\n

Ow!\u00a0 Dang it, do you really have to do that to me every time you get excited?<\/em><\/p>\n

Just a love, nip, SPHP!\u00a0 Admit it, you love the were-puppy, too!<\/em><\/p>\n

True enough.\u00a0 Most of me does.\u00a0 I’m glad you’re so high-spirited and feeling frisky, but you really ought to know that my ankles and calves aren’t as fond of the were-puppy as you might imagine.\u00a0 C’mon, Mount Fitzpatrick time!\u00a0 Onward, puppy ho!<\/em><\/p>\n

Heading W, Lupe led the way, Mount Fitzpatrick already in sight only a mile away.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Flat terrain quickly led to a snow-filled valley W of Upper Crow Creek Lake.\u00a0 Part of this valley was exposed rock.\u00a0 Seemed better to climb along a partially tree-lined ridge a bit farther N.<\/p>\n

Plenty of snow and rock this way, too, but it worked out pretty well.\u00a0 After gaining some elevation, the Carolina Dog reached some relatively flat, bare ground.\u00a0 Several use trails were in this region.<\/p>\n

Choosing the best use trail, Loop followed it W on a fairly steep S-facing slope overlooking the snowy valley.\u00a0 The snow-free trail made for an easy traverse.\u00a0 Gradually gaining elevation, the trail eventually curved NW.\u00a0 Passing through a short stretch of forest, Lupe arrived at a broad, snowy saddle.<\/p>\n

This was the saddle that the valley W of Upper Crow Creek Lake swept up to.\u00a0 A deep snow-filled depression was to the N, and Peak 10788<\/span><\/strong> was visible to the NW.<\/p>\n

Going W across the saddle, Lupe began climbing a steep, mostly bare slope leading up a 300 foot high ridge.\u00a0 Finding the use trail again, Loop was able to follow it most of the way, but once above the steepest part, the trail vanished again in a snowy forest.<\/p>\n

Avoiding the trees as much as possible, a snow trudge higher finally got her to some more bare ground along the E side of the ridgeline.\u00a0 Upper Crow Creek Lake was in view again.<\/p>\n

The territory W of the ridge Lupe had reached wasn’t nearly as steep.\u00a0 A wide, relatively shallow valley was so full of snow that a tarn shown on the topo map<\/strong><\/span><\/a> must have still been buried beneath it.<\/p>\n

Of more immediate interest, Mount Fitzpatrick’s N face was now fully in sight to the S.\u00a0 Snowfields covered most of it.\u00a0 Unequipped for a snow climb, the lower half looked impossibly steep.<\/p>\n

However, there was good news, too.\u00a0 Toward the E side of the N face, a broad swath of ground was almost entirely snow-free.\u00a0 Although also very steep, an E approach looked quite feasible.\u00a0 In fact, a fair amount of greenery was visible, which usually meant decent traction.\u00a0 A sloping rock band visible above the greenery appeared potentially problematic.\u00a0 Might be a line of cliffs along it?\u00a0 Hard to say how formidable from here.<\/p>\n

Sometimes on snow, but mostly on rocky terrain, Lupe headed S, aiming for the E side of Mount Fitzpatrick’s N face.\u00a0 The Carolina Dog actually lost some elevation before getting to where the decisive ascent began.<\/p>\n

Hopes were soaring as Lupe started up!\u00a0 The slope was very steep, but no worse than many others she had been on.\u00a0 For a long way, plenty of low vegetation made for good, firm traction.\u00a0 By the time Loop reached the slanting band of rock SPHP thought might be a problem, the rate of climb was diminishing.\u00a0 The American Dingo was already higher than most of the exceptionally steep massive snowfield to the W.<\/p>\n

The rock band proved to be no issue at all.\u00a0 While it did form a long wall, as expected, the wall was crumbling and low.\u00a0 Loop simply scrambled up one of the easier spots.\u00a0 Nothing to it!<\/p>\n

\"\"

Patches of greenery existed even above the wall, but they soon gave way to much rockier terrain.\u00a0 Still climbing, though now on less of an incline, Loopster turned SW traversing an extensive boulder field between the massive snowfields below, and a long, narrow snowbank above.<\/p>\n

Near the upper end of the long snowbank, Lupe turned S, surging up and over it in a few bounds.\u00a0 Immediately above the snowbank, she reached a rounded ridgeline of broken rock with sparse vegetation scattered throughout.\u00a0 This was Mount Fitzpatrick’s E ridge.<\/p>\n

By now it was clear that the American Dingo was already very high on the mountain.\u00a0 Turning W, a 50 foot climb was all it took before a cairn appeared only a little farther ahead.<\/p>\n

12:58 PM, 58\u00baF, Mount Fitzpatrick<\/span><\/a> (10,907 ft.)<\/span><\/strong><\/em> – Smiling broadly, Lupe stood with her front paws propped up on the summit cairn.\u00a0 Peak 10788<\/span><\/strong> and others strung out along the same ridgeline were in view beyond her, Grand Teton<\/span><\/a> (13,770 ft.)<\/span><\/strong> faintly visible on the N horizon.\u00a0 Skies were sunny that way, but much stormier looking to the S.<\/p>\n

We made it, SPHP!\u00a0 Mount Fitzpatrick wasn’t so hard after all, was it?<\/em><\/p>\n

Have to admit I can scarcely believe how well it has all gone, Loopster.\u00a0 After those first glimpses of Peak<\/span> 10525<\/span><\/a><\/strong> yesterday, I was almost certain we were doomed to failure.\u00a0 Glad we didn’t try this a week ago, though.\u00a0 Might still have been enough snow back then to prevent us from getting up here.\u00a0 That big snow-free stretch on the E side of the N face was key.<\/em><\/p>\n

Good call delaying Fitzpatrick until after Mount McDougal<\/span><\/a> (10,780 ft.)<\/span><\/strong> and the Snake River Range, SPHP!\u00a0 Worthy of a chocolate coconut bar!<\/em><\/p>\n

Believe you’re on to something there, Looper!\u00a0 Should be one in the pack.<\/em><\/p>\n

Mount Fitzpatrick’s summit was crescent-shaped, with 2 lobes extending E and SSW from a circular central region 20 feet in diameter where the cairn was.\u00a0 Plenty of room to stroll around a bit, and nothing at all up here to block the views in any direction.<\/p>\n

After a pawshake congratulating Lupe on her latest peakbagging success, SPHP grabbed a white plastic tube from the center of the cairn, then sat facing E on bare ground nearby.\u00a0 Assisted by a famished Carolina Dog, a chocolate coconut bar performed its disappearing act.\u00a0 Loop then curled up on SPHP’s lap.\u00a0 Munching an apple, SPHP had a look at the registry contained within the white tube.<\/p>\n

The registry consisted of loose full-sized sheets of paper printed out with columns for name, date, address, and comments.\u00a0 2 or 3 pages had been completely filled out, easily sporting 50 to 60 names dating back as far as 2010.\u00a0 At least 3 dogs had been up here, too.\u00a0 Unfortunately, the entire registry, including all the extra pages, was sopping wet.<\/p>\n

Just a mess, aye, SPHP?\u00a0 Too bad!<\/em><\/p>\n

Yeah, these blank pages aren’t going to be usable.\u00a0 I’m just going to pack them out, but we might as well leave the pages that are already completed, since most of the entries are still legible.<\/em><\/p>\n

You’re not going to add my name to the registry, SPHP?<\/em><\/p>\n

Oh, of course I will, Loop.\u00a0 I’ll tear a page out of our small notebook.\u00a0 Not the best, but at least your ascent will be noted as long as that page lasts.\u00a0 Really not much else we can do at this point.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"
One of the completed registry pages.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Loop’s registry entry taken care of, SPHP returned the white tube to the cairn, which featured one other item of interest.<\/p>\n

Want your registry entries to last longer than a piece of paper, Loop?\u00a0 Elly Rainey has a solution.<\/em><\/p>\n

Who is Elly Rainey, SPHP?<\/em><\/p>\n

No idea, Loopster, but we could have run into her here sometime in 2018.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"
Elly Rainey registry entry.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Oh, that’s awesome, SPHP!\u00a0 An entry carved in stone!\u00a0 That’s a great idea.<\/em><\/p>\n

Would be if I were as ambitious as Elly.\u00a0 Not sure I want to be carrying rocks up every mountain we climb, Loop.<\/em><\/p>\n

Maybe Mount Fitzpatrick is of some special significance to Elly?<\/em><\/p>\n

Seems like that might well be the case, Looper.\u00a0 She would have had to bring a much bigger rock to explain why, though.<\/em><\/p>\n

The storminess to the S was slowly drifting E.\u00a0 Lupe alternated between relaxing on SPHP’s lap, and wandering about sniffing and looking at the views.\u00a0 In addition to the Tetons to the N, the Gros Ventre Range was on the NNE horizon, and the Wind River Range NE.<\/p>\n

Much closer, Mount McDougal<\/span><\/a> (10,780 ft.)<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0and Triple Peak<\/span><\/a> (11,127 ft.)<\/span><\/strong> were both identifiable NE beyond the Greys River valley in the Wyoming Range.\u00a0 Mount Coffin<\/span><\/a> (11,242 ft.)<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0and Wyoming Peak<\/span><\/a> (11,378 ft.)<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0were in sight to the SE.<\/p>\n

Less than a mile away, Peak<\/span> 10525<\/span><\/a><\/strong> was due E .\u00a0 Way below it, a sliver of Upper Crow Creek Lake was visible just to the N.\u00a0 Lupe’s tiny house might have been visible down there, too, if not hidden by trees.<\/p>\n

2:26 PM<\/em> – The weather was perfect, visibility and the views awesome!\u00a0 However, nearly an hour and a half had shot by.\u00a0 Lupe now stood by the cairn on Mount Fitzpatrick for the last time.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Final moments on Mount Fitzpatrick<\/strong>. Photo looks W.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Hate to go, Looper, but it’s over.\u00a0 Take a good look around, we’ll be leaving this region tomorrow, and it may be a long time before we ever come back.<\/em><\/p>\n

That’s just sad, SPHP!\u00a0 It’s been marvelous, and Mount Fitzpatrick turned out great, didn’t it?<\/em><\/p>\n

Sure did, Loop.\u00a0 Thrilled that we actually got here.\u00a0 Yesterday I was afraid we wouldn’t.<\/em><\/p>\n

The American Dingo had already lost 80 feet of elevation heading down the E ridge, when SPHP suddenly stopped.<\/p>\n

Hang on, Loop!<\/em><\/p>\n

What’s up, SPHP?<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"

I’ve been trying to remember to take a photo with our new iPhone from each summit we’ve been visiting on this Dingo Vacation.\u00a0 Think I forgot to again.\u00a0 Would you mind going back up for a few minutes?<\/em><\/p>\n

I’d be delighted to, SPHP!<\/em><\/p>\n

So the American Dingo returned briefly to Mount Fitzpatrick’s summit.\u00a0 Once the iPhone photo was taken, Lupe enjoyed one last chance to gaze again upon the glorious scenes in all directions from the highest peak of the Salt River Range.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Oh, the fun wasn’t over yet!\u00a0 Lupe still had a wonderful long day ahead of her on the way back out.\u00a0 Although she made minor variations to her route up Mount Fitzpatrick, for the most part her descent was the same.<\/p>\n

When Lupe got back to the tiny house, SPHP was surprised when she didn’t try to get in.\u00a0 Instead, Loop laid down among the buttercups in the corner of the two logs by the white stone fire ring.\u00a0 While SPHP packed up the sleeping bags and the tiny house, she relaxed while enjoying the fabulous view of Upper Crow Creek Lake and Peak 10525.<\/p>\n

As soon as SPHP had everything ready, it was time to head back to Trail No. 079 at Pass 9060<\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Leaving Upper Crow Creek Lake<\/strong> and Mount Fitzpatrick<\/strong> (R of Center). Photo looks SW.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Down in the North Crow Creek valley along Trail No. 044, Lupe saw a couple of deer and an elk.\u00a0 When she got to the fords of Crow Creek, she plunged right through like a pro.\u00a0 With boots, socks, and paws already soaking wet from the snow back at Mount Fitzpatrick, even SPHP didn’t hesitate to do the same.<\/p>\n

9:03 PM, 53\u00baF, Crow Creek trailhead along Greys River Road<\/em> – The last of the alpenglow was on the highest peaks when Lupe made it back to the RAV4.\u00a0 She was eager to leap in and get back on her pink blanket, while SPHP mucked around getting everything loaded.<\/p>\n

Once that was done, Loop enjoyed Ol’ Roy for dinner, as SPHP drove S.\u00a0 Too tired to do anything else, SPHP munched a packet of Ritz crackers, sharing some with the Carolina Dog.\u00a0 It was dark when SPHP finally parked the RAV4 at the end of Road No. 10399 near Greys River.<\/p>\n

For the 4th and final time on this Dingo Vacation, Lupe would get to spend the night at this favorite spot.\u00a0 She drifted off to Dingo Dreamland knowing Mount Fitzpatrick had been a grand and beautiful success.\u00a0 What a fun adventure!<\/p>\n

And Lupe would always remember her quiet night beneath the stars by lovely Upper Crow Creek Lake.<\/p>\n
