Yeah I finally did that hike up to Eagle Lake last weekend and honestly it was even better than I expected. The trail was about 6 miles round trip with some decent elevation gain but nothing too crazy. We started early around 7am so we had the trail mostly to ourselves which was nice. The lake at the top was this incredible turquoise color and we sat there for almost an hour just taking it in. I brought sandwiches and we had lunch on the rocks overlooking the water. The weather was perfect not too hot and just a slight breeze. I'd definitely recommend going if you get a chance. The wildflowers were still blooming along parts of the trail which added nice color. We saw a couple of deer on the way back down too. Let me know if you want the exact trailhead directions I can send them over. The whole loop took us about four hours including breaks and the elevation gain was around 1200 feet which felt manageable. We saw a few other hikers but nothing like the crowds you get on the more popular trails nearby. I took a bunch of photos with my phone and they came out pretty good. I'll send you a few when I get a chance to sort through them.

I tried making that lasagna recipe you sent me last week and it turned out way better than I expected honestly. I was a bit nervous about the bechamel sauce because I've never made it from scratch before but it came together really smoothly. I used a mix of ground beef and Italian sausage and added some mushrooms that I had sitting in the fridge. The whole thing took about an hour and a half from start to finish but most of that was just letting it bake. I had leftovers for three days and honestly it got better each day as the flavors melded together. I made a simple green salad on the side with a lemon vinaigrette which cut through the richness nicely. Next time I might try adding some spinach leaves between the layers just to sneak in more vegetables. I also think I'd add a bit more garlic next time because I love garlic and the recipe only called for two cloves which felt a little restrained. The cheese on top got perfectly golden and bubbly which was so satisfying to see when I pulled it out of the oven. Let me know if you have any other good recipes I should try.
