I'm thinking hibernation...Ronna is thinking a 3-day adventure before winter arrives in force--a 6-mile hike to a Forest Service cabin on Trout Lake from the Resurrection Trail in Cooper Landing.
Before I knew what happened, we were on the trail. Six miles felt like a long way to me!
It was a beautiful, clear day. The surrounding mountains had a dusting of snow and the trail showed evidence of those who came before us--brown bear, wolves, moose and rabbits.
That charming little cabin on the lake was a welcome sight!
There was firewood to cut...
and water to dip.
It is hard to find adequate words to describe
the beauty all around us.
A huge bonfire!
We feel fortunate indeed to be spending the winter in the company of this generous and giving family of Martins in Kenai, Alaska. My hero Ronna carried her pack and pulled mine in a sled on the trek out. I strolled like a lady of leisure. :-) She is quite a woman!
Juneau Falls
What a GREAT start to the winter!
Time to hibernate!
