Another in a series of clear weather days is good for a day of hiking. The usual routine for the past few days is that I get up and start walking at 6AM to take advantage of cool temperatures. DNA starts out around 8AM, but hikes faster, so catches up with me in the afternoon and for the rest of the day I try to “draft” behind him to keep up, and we end up camping near each other.
Here is Rock Island Lake.
