Diamond Lake




This week's hike was around Diamond Lake (11.5 miles). We were asked to bid a roof on one of the West Side summer homes, so this worked out perfectly. After measuring the roof, we drove back to the resort, sprayed on the bug spray and headed out on the paved bicycle path.

If the first photo appears a bit foggy, that would be the fog of midges which hovered over the lake and shoreline. It does make one appreaciate a handkerchief (to breath through).

Half way around the lake we had an excellent view of Mt. Thielsen, and 3/4 of the way around allowed great views of Mt. Bailey. However, my feet began to hurt and the most welcome site was the lodge!

We topped the day off with a swim and a nap and it feels good to continue on our fitness journey.
