Day 3--Ordinary Things & and an Extraordinary Hike

NOTE TO SELF:

Don't wait 8 years to clean the deck again!

We went to Cascade Pond for our hike yesterday. It was a spectacular day. Before arriving at the trailhead, our driver saw these folks on a lake and did a quick u-turn so we could photograph them.

About 1/2 mile up the trail we came upon a wooden bridge that afforded us this view.

Along the trail.

Cascade Pond is near Blue Mt. Lake. On the way home we stopped at one of our favorite restaurants in Indian Lake. After eating dinner, we headed across the street for dessert.

Happy Birthday, America!!!!
