Gary at Piney Creek Wilderness — I spent most of my time sitting and watching the lake and trees, with the occasional swim to cool down, which was exactly what I wanted to do.

Yet another visitor — I was sitting by the lake enjoying the view when this tarantula ambled by. I’ve been told there are tarantulas in Missouri, but I’ve never seen them, until now.

Lil’ friend — Unlike all the other Harvestmen in the area who were busy doing their harvestman things, this one chose to come and sit by me for an hour while we watched the rain fall. +1

Cue the ‘Twilight Zone’ music — Last night, stumbling around in the dark, my headlamp picked out a glint in the rocks that make up the campfire surround. When I went to investigate, I found a Pilot pencil, just like the one I lost in February some 2½ miles away near the stock pond on the Lake Trail.

Welcome to Eastney Beach — No trip back home to Portsmouth would be complete without a visit to the beach — Ginger was getting her nails done, and I spent an hour on the beach and even went for a swim.

Morning run at Grange-over-Sands — From the Netherwood Hotel along the entire length of the promenade and back was just over two and-a-half miles. Just right for my morning run. 2
