Yup, that's me! Carrie invited me to go on a quick 5 mile hike at Island Lake Recreation Area. It was highlighted in her guidebook as an easy 5 mile trail - sort of true - it wasn't a difficult hike - there were hills to climb but we were okay with that. Rather, the trail wasn't exactly 5 miles - more like six - which doesn't sound like a big deal - but my friend was coming over at 8 that night and we had to get home! So an extra mile was a big deal. We made it just in the nick of time. It took us a couple of hours - about 734 mosquito bites (I'm not exaggerating) - and 42 near death collisions with the mountain bikers to get back to the head of the yellow loop trail. It was a great time!
Here are few of the beautiful sites that we saw along the way!
