Supper time at the lower lake campsite. A couple in their 50's passed by the site around 6:00. They were day hiking over Larmarck Col.and they did not appear to ever have done it before. They had no comprehension of the distance or the boulders. They did have a flashlight though. Did not find where they had started from but it must have been in the valley. 10 to 1 they didn't make it.
