Last Saturday, Dmitri and I went out to Devils Lake to spend the night in preparation for our South Sister summit attempt. Click through the image above for the full panorama effect.
We setup our camp in the woods across the road from the trail head. The main campground was already full and we didn’t feel like being around so many people anyway.
There was a creek just below our camp.
I don’t think anyone will be camping in the lake.

A 360 degree panorama from the top of a lava flow near Devils Lake. Mount Bachelor is to the right of center with snow on the top. The fading rays of light on the far left side of the photo are in the direction of Devils Lake.
Dmitri and me up on the lava flow. I climbed up there wearing flipflops while Dmitri had proper shoes. It’s impressive that I didn’t slice my feet open on those rocks.
My bivy sack setup. The air was very dry at Devils Lake. No condensation on the inside this time. I used some sticks to prop up the tie-down ropes a bit. That seemed to help, too.
