3 June 1998
There is a low cloud bank covering most of the mountains, though patches of
blue sky offer hope that it will clear up later. A friend wanted to go out to
Beaver lake, so we borrowed a car and dog and drove on out. The trail starts
with a series of switchbacks up a nice little hill. I think the elevation gain
is about 300 feet in a quarter mile or so. I moved right on up the hill in
order to take advantage of the opportunity for a cardio-vascular workout of
sorts. My friend was more interested in taking in the sights I think and so
I ended up at the top of the hill first. I decided to write a bit while
waiting.
I find that since I have started this I journal, I tend to think in terms of
what I might write here. I am not sure what, if any, effect this will have
on how I experience hikes.
There is a little bit of a breeze at the lake, but not enough to discourage
mosquitoes. The dog seems to enjoy swimming around in the water. The trail
has been extended a bit further around the lake since the last time I was
here, though it looks like they have given up on putting it all the way around
for now.

None taken.
