My final morning at Paradise Lake, I'm up early in an attempt to get packed up before the hot sun becomes unbearable

It's cool enough by Paradise Lake this morning that I have to wear my sweater for the first time during the trip. But only for an hour, and then the heat sets in.

I only drink one cup, instead of two, of my beloved strong Peets coffee this morning due to the heat.

I sometimes wish I could be a morning person and get up earlier and still enjoy the day.
