Things just feel not right right now. Our country is messed up, I just accepted a new job and will no longer be able to call myself a librarian, no celebrating the 4th with my parents, and just other stuff.

Morning hike to Red Pine Lake for some mountain air. On Darren’s hike yesterday he saw a moose so he must have sent one to me for my hike as we saw one from the parking lot.

This morning we decided to hike to Odessa Lake. We questioned our hike decision for 4 miles as we hiked up (and up) through burned trees. Thankful for wildflowers to get me up past Fern.

What a hike to Skypond! Loved it! Early morning as we started hiking at 5am. The water here in the park is raging. So much volume coming down. Amazing! Add the early morning light and the waterfalls and lakes were gorgeous. Sigh.
First lake was The Loch and it was beautiful. Then came the snow crossings which were sketch unless you had spikes and then they were no problem. Then came a stressful part for me which was climbing up the side of some cascades. It was a little tricky and a bit cold.
Lake of Glass was next and then we made our way over to Skypond. We had the beautiful alpine mountain lake to ourselves minus the two rock climbers up high. I love these high alpine lakes with the tarns and flowers and granite rock with snow. Sigh. We would have stayed longer but people started coming, it was cold, and I was worried about the cascade down climb (I wish I wasn’t but it is what it is.) The down climb was not too bad (more wet) and we found a fabulous lunch spot (even though it was 9:30am) back at The Loch on a rock. Eating on a big rock by a beautiful lake is awesome. We took a side trip to Mills Lake where we relaxed, saw John’s Overlook view from a different spot, and soaked feet for a minute.

Watching Emperor’s New Groove last night made me laugh - at the movie and at Mason laughing at the movie. Also - I’ve been rocking the bean game. Bohnanza has been the go to game with Mason and Rachael lately. Oh, and Darren climbed Timp today just for fun.
