Randall (Laura's brother) and I did an overnighter up at Maple Flats last night. Maple Flats is just below the peak to the south of Y mountain. The quickest (and most strenuous) approach is from the Y parking lot. From the top of the Y you head south up the mountain to Bear Flats which is similiar to a hanging valley, above seven peaks resort. Then it's just up a couple hundred feet to Maple Flats. Well, we both got about 3 maybe 4 hours of sleep max. Besides the mosquitoes and flies zzzzz-ing around or ears and other extremities all night (we had no tent) we had a large visitor. Klump, Klump.....pppppppppppp he went. (The pppppppp sound is suppose to be like that of a horse flapping its lips.) He visited a few times scarin' both of us out of our sleep. All in all it was fun. As we descended down Y mountain the next morning we had a good laugh remembering how frightend we really were.
