Lake 22

K and I went on our first hike of the season today at Lake 22 in the Snoqualmie-Baker National Forest area fairly close to Mt. Pilchuk. I've always wondered why it's called Lake 22. Are there 21 other lakes that I've missed out on? Is there a Lake 23? Lake 22 was a good moderate hike to start with for the season; 5 miles round trip with a fairly gradual elevation gain to the top. Most of the elevation gain seems to occur over the first half or so, with the trail leveling off towards the top. This was a good thing since the last 5o0 yards or so is still covered in snow, although it seems like the trail is still getting its' fair share of pedestrian traffic since footprints heavily marred the snow.
