May 19, 2011 - Jenkinson Lake Loop

This week, the Sunrise Geezers hiked around Jenkinson Lake at Sly Park. This was a loop hike of 8 1/2 to 9 miles long. Asd the hike was roughly at lake level, it was not difficult but quite long. The lake is very picturesque with many dogwoods still in bloom. As you can see from the photos, there were many beautiful stops and we were all thrilled to see a large bald eagle soaring above us. (Rod has a close up photo of him sitting on the nest but that will be posted later). We were all pretty tired on returning to our cars but ice cream at McDonalds in Placerville awaited us. Another successful day with the Geezer Boyz and filled with blessings !










The photo below really is a bald headed eagle in flight.
Watch for a future post showing him perched on his nest
