Last year our hiking group hiked to St. Marie's Lake (except it's really Lake Marie, but what do we know?). We didn't make it to our destination because a few of us had to get back to pick up kids at school. So this year we had a Lake Marie hike: take two. As you can see, the lake is 5.1 miles in. Six of us went, + three babies, two of Brenda's and Jen has one.
Here's a cliff we wanted to stand close to. Left to right: Randa, Brenda (+baby), Meilei (+baby), Deidra, Karen, and Jen (+baby).
And more pretty scenery.
Hiking in action! Deidra leading out, with Brenda too.
We saw a little wildlife, only once, but she was pretty. She was running towards us and we wondered if we should be running too (away from whatever she was running from). But there was no excitement.
And here's the lake. Actually, we don't think it's really Lake Marie, the trail ended abruptly and we wandered around and found two mudholes like this, and took a pic in front of one. We were only 4 miles in when the trail ended. We are determined next year to FIND LAKE MARIE! We're going to take a GPS and coordinants, and find that elusive lake if it's the last thing we do!
But no worries, we had a great time, and the veiws were incredible!
Here we are almost back again, we couldn't help taking a picture at this cool hillside. By the way, if you think all we do is pose for pictures, these are actually little stops so that Jen can resume a relitively not-on-the-verge-of-death breathing pattern. And besides, it's fun to set the camera timer and see if I can make it into the frame in 10 seconds, lol. Happy Hiking!
