We hiked the same place I hiked a couple of months ago with some friends, but look what's happening now!
The green makes me so happy. And I like the lakes better at this time of year too. This is Leaf Lake
And Condon Lake.
We went to the north end of Condon and turned around.
I thought this was interesting. Some people got pictures of the flowering dogwood trees on the way back when the flowers had opened flat like you usually see them. I don't think they close at night, so they must have just been opening for the season. Maybe one of you has a tree and knows.
I'm always a sucker for baby oak leaves. This is a white oak.
And finally, some wild flowers. This is gaywings, Polygala paucifolia. Always a fun spring find.
I did get a load of stuff to the township cleanup day before the hike. And I did complete my 100 miles of campsites. But now I'm beat.
Total miles hiked in 2024: 221.6, of which 78.6 is North Country Trail.
North Country Trail, Walkup Lake to north of Condon Lake and back, 7.0 miles
