A spring hike


It was a mild spring day in Port Angeles, Washington last Saturday. My wife and I decided to take a short hike to a lake in the Olympic National Forest. The sign said 3.7 miles, we noticed the fog descending at about 2.5 miles, a half mile later we were walking through snow! Nearly three hours later we reached the lake. It was frozen, and it starting to snow. I took a few tumbles on the snowy trails on the way down. Next time I'm not hiking in Birkenstock sandals.
