Well, we usually do this hike in the snow, and it is a great one. Not too hilly, you get to a pretty view, and Abe gets a killer workout. This time we decided to take my mom and brother out to show them, and thought it would be a breeze. Of course it wouldn't be too much more to add a lap around the lake (that we had never done before), right? WRONG. It was one of those "I took the path less traveled, and it made all the difference," or however that quote goes. It was incredibly beautiful. We found a spot by a stream to sit down and have our lunch... and fifteen minutes later we were rolling up our pants to wade across a freezing stream. It was right about then that we lost the trail completely, but just kept going. We were stumbling and cracking up all the way. I thought Alma was going to fire us all at one point, but she was in good spirits most of the time. I'm happy we all survived to tell the tale, HA. Good times, even better company.
