Officially, we only hiked 7.5 miles today, but it was closer to 9. There was some backtracking and side trails, and then we had to walk back to our campsite.
Bill signs us into a trail register.
We made it to one of my favorite places for lunch- Bear Lake. The hill has no name, but I really like this spot.
There is a boat there- no oars, but it made good seating for lunch.
And guess what! I got my 2025 Hike 100 there.
We even saw a pair of loons
I think this birch "hand" was reaching down to grab the mossy knoll.
OK, this is hard work to collect all this data. Tomorrow we have 10 miles to do. Maybe we got some of the kinks out.
Gull Lake parking to McKeever. I'll update these mileages etc later. Barely enough service to blog.

Way to go on achieving the Hike 100 for the year.
ReplyDeleteThat Birch is rather interesting. It does look like a hand digging into the ground.
Lulu: "Loons! Dada says he remembers loons! Apparently he and Mama would see them when they were out on canoes on the lakes up there. The loons would disappear underwater and pop up again like a hundred yards away."
ReplyDeleteJava Bean: "Ayyy, are they birds, or are they fish?"
Charlee: "Birds, fish, it's all good if you ask me."
