We moved up the road a ways to explore another area. Since it's raining today we decided to go for a hike. We ended up doing a 7 mile O & B to Ptarmagin Lake. The trail was much easier than the last one we did, but they did mention it could be overgrown. Here's a shot looking up the trail.
The rain didn't bother us much, as it was typically light, but the wet plants got my pants so soaked I had to remove the legs. We have been remarkably lucky with the mosquitoes though. When we got to the lake we got a couple of bites and I actually used Janet and Brian's parting gift of Deet. But for the most part we've had no bug issues to speak of. Sue's good friend Jan and her husband Larry are on the road up here also (Once they heard we were having so much fun, they had to come up here too). We haven't been able to connect with them yet, but the girls are texting each other and Jan told her the mosquitoes are so bad they have to stay in the trailer. Perhaps on the way back, we'll run into bugs.
Oh, here's the lake-
We're at the coffee shop again; Sue's checking out the good looking guy a couple of tables away, and I'm slaving away updating the blog for my public.
We will be off the grid again for an undetermined time. Come to find out, Verizon is not a good carrier up here. I'll check in again when I can.

another beautiful shot of Sue:)
ReplyDeleteShe makes every picture look good doesn't she?
DeleteAww, thanks Peggy. Of course only certain ones make the cut.
DeleteEvery pic you have put on have been fabulous, looks like another good calendar year coming up. Must be terrible with all the rain, I would love to hike in the rain. Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteI complain about the rain, but really it has become a running joke. It's so light as to be negligible. Today we were sitting at the bar in the Princess Lodge enjoying a drink when Sue suggested we sit out on the deck. I mentioned it was raining, but of course that didn't deter her. So we sat out in the rain and never really got wet. I made a big deal out of it though.
DeleteSmart move, Dave. I hope it helped. Spread it on all exposed parts.
