I'm back from my England trip and will try to get the blogs going again.This week just seven Geezers, Rod, Sherm, Merrill, Roland, Larry, Wayne and Bob, attempted the hike into Shadow Lake in the Crystal Basin area off Highway 50. Although estimated at 8+ miles, those who attempted to hike on after lunch actually hiked a distance of 9.2 miles with 1000' vertical gain. Wayne and Roland took an extended nap while the other brave souls marched on. It was a very pretty day but somewhat messy and difficult hike with lots of mosquito's and swamp land. Notice a trek through the muck by a fellow geezer. We dubbed it the Mountain Swamp Hike! It sure does beat working though.
Just to dispel the myth that England is always foggy, cold, wet and damp all the time, I've taken the liberty to add a couple or so photos taken two weeks ago. Hope you enjoy a glimpse of my homeland in the spring time.
Great pictures from England. It truly is a beautiful country.
