The Second Leg

We had a late start because of rain this morning, but my sister Maryann and I were not going to let our chance to hike around the lake slip away. The second leg of my "triathalon" is now complete!


Our risk paid off. We were only rained on twice the entire day. The bigger challenge was dealing with all sorts of mud and water hazards along the way. We're guessing they added at least an hour to our hiking time. The whole adventure took 10 hours, about nine of it hiking and an hour's worth of stops.


My favorite part of the day was calling Roger when we reached the Eleven Gables Inn a little over halfway. Earlier in the day he discovered that they have a web cam that broadcasts live video over the internet. When I called him at his office in Utah, he described what he could see online and we moved to get in view of the camera. Then he got this screen shot. Maryann is on the left, and I'm on the right in the red hat. What a hoot!


After a luscious dip in the lake at the end of our hike, we and our aching feet are gratefully back home.

Congratulations on finishing your second leg. Huzzah!

How cool is that picture on the internet? Oh, the crazy things we can do these days.
