Today, my daughter (Indiana Robin, the Explorer) took me on a hike back into the woods and along a steep (at least for me) trail along the edge of the little lake that was hidden back in the trees and rocks. One whole side of the lake, actually more like a pond, but beautiful clear water, was a sheer rock cliff, and the water was running out of the side of the cliff and down the rocks into the water. where the water came out, part of the rocks looked like ice-sickles, except it was actually rock that had crusted over with minerals from the water. Some of the rocks were kind of a yellowish, like maybe they had some sulphur traces in the water.
The side of the lake that we were on, you could see that the shoreline just dropped right off into a black depth, and it would be anyone's guess just how deep it actually was. It is definitely a place where I want to go next spring and take the fishing poles along. Maybe even the little inflatable kayaks, and then we could actually get out into the lake and fish.
Some places the trail was so steep along the side of the lake, it was almost straight up the hillside and straight down to the water on the other. I was using my walking stick, and hanging on to the trees as we went along. (@2sweed, this is where I needed that rope to tie around my waist like we discussed in the other thread) Anyway, it was a nice sunshiny day, and we had a great time.
