Saturday was the monthly trail hike. This time at one of my favorite places, Bowman Lake. Here's the group photo, thanks to Loren.

It was a chilly morning, but great for walking. Somehow this picture makes the lake look more somber than usual, but the view is a little different, so I'm sharing this one.

We did a loop that is about six miles long. Elizabeth points out where we are on the map.

Sometimes, just sometimes, a fallen tree is an asset rather than a problem. This one is going to need a chain saw, and it hasn't been cleared yet. However, it provided perfect lunch seating for ten. And so convenient... right down the length of the trail.

Grocery shopping after, home, zombie land. Gave up and went to bed.

everyone does look pretty bundled up in that first picture. Once you get moving though it does help to take the chill off
