Trip over

Gary — Sun, 09 Jul 2023 22:37:00 +0000

Trip over — Three nights and four days by the lake. I left a day early as I didn't fancy hiking out in the 90°F+ temps forecast for Monday. +1

Just sitting and watching

Just sitting and watching — That's pretty much how I spent four days. The cup of tea was optional. +2

Campfire

Campfire — It is very rare for me to have a campfire nowadays. But I'd collected the wood, so I might as well use it and keep the fire ring clean.

Camped near Table Rock Lake at Piney Creek Wilderness

Camped near Table Rock Lake at Piney Creek Wilderness. The forecast was for two to three days of rain, so I carried in a second tarp to have a dry area to sit and prepare meals. It sprinkled once for about half an hour. 2

Table Rock Lake at Piney Creek Wilderness — I never tire of this view or taking pictures of it. Look closely; you can see that I had neighbors on this visit. Two fishermen camped at the entrance to Piney Creek. +2

On the lake trail at Piney Creek Wilderness. It doesn't look it, but that's a 60-80 ft. climb.

Ready for the trail

Gary — Thu, 06 Jul 2023 17:29:00 +0000

Ready for the trail. Or, judging by the reflection in my sunglasses: "Car, dunny (a.k.a. vault toilet), arm and camera." I'm planning on spending four nights and five days at my favorite camping spot by Table Rock Lake.

R&R by the lake

R&R by the lake — It's time I took a short break, watched the lake for a while, did some navel-gazing, and maybe some journaling. The trouble is the weather has been beastly hot. It may be my imagination, but it certainly seems to be my experience that exercise combined with high temps triggers my AFIB. So, thoughts of taking a few days by the lake have been put on the back burner.
