We had our first 70 degree day today. To celebrate, Julia and I hit the road early, driving up to Mirror Lake at dawn.
We have hiked and cross-country skied at Mirror Lake many times but recently read about two new trails in the State Natural Area.
The Bluff/Canyon trail and the Lake View Ridge trails were so new that we kept tripping over recently cut small stumps still in the trail. Julia did a belly flop but bounced right back up.
There was fog, due to yesterday's soaking rains, but the sun was starting to break through. We welcomed the warm weather with a hike of about five miles, including some off-trail meandering.
This afternoon, I'll split some firewood, listen to the Brewers' baseball game, and then get the grill going for supper. Next week turns cold again, so we will enjoy the preview of summer while we can.
