The hike may also be a snow shoe trip or may be a kayak trip, but it will not be of our travels. If you wish to see our travel pictures visit us at:

Lake Annette

 

Well, I’m two months behind on my postings, but that is what happens when life is busy with hikes, trips to the John Muir Trail, and the birth of a grandson.  But I will try to catch up before I leave for Spain.  I know, retirement is tough, but someone has to do it.  On the sixth of July, I headed up to lake Annette to see if the snow was melted out.

It had, which is good because I ran into a church group looking for a dry place to camp. When I met them, they were standing beside the trail looking a 1000 feet down into a ravine, wondering where down there the sleeping bag of one of the campers had rolled to.  I had a better day than they did.  It was a shaded walk through the trees

with all sorts of nice shady spots to set and contemplate.

Once I got to the lake I held my sandwich in one hand and swatted away the mosquitoes with the other hand.  The mosquitoes won the battle and I had to move on.

But I didn’t have to move on very quickly and so it was a casual stroll back down to my car watching the shadows on the trees
