Gold Cord Lake

There's a trail from the Independence Mine to Gold Cord Lake. It's an alpine lake on the other side of the valley.

The skies were a little foreboding but we pressed on anyway.

 Duh duh DUH.

 We got poured on. It was a warm rain and we were thankfully (somewhat) prepared.

Plus we ducked into this old, abandoned cabin for a quick break during the worst of the downpour.

And we made it, soaked but happy, to Gold Cord Lake!
