I'm glad I put that extra blanket on
the bed last night...it was cold when we woke up this morning...7C/44F in the
trailer! Steve got up, lit the propane heater, put the coffee on and then
quickly got back into bed to warm up. We laid there snuggled under the covers
waiting for the tell-tale sound that the coffee was ready. When I didn't hear
it...and it should be finished by now...I got up to check. Nope, the coffee
wasn't ready...there was no flame...we'd run out of propane! Sheesh! That got
Steve out from under the nice warm covers...and outside to switch over the
propane tank. Yes, it definitely got cold out last night...the thermometer said
it was 2C/34F! Brr...but the sky was clear blue...yay! A good start for the
first day of summer...sure hope it stays that way!
We enjoyed a lazy start to the day
drinking our coffee as the sun streamed through the windows...ahhh...
We decided to go for a hike today but thought
that we would wait until after lunch...let it warm up a bit more. So at 12:30
we left our site walking through the campground to the trail head of the Canyon
Nature Trail.We decided that we would hike to the Lightning Lake Day Use Area, so that involved doing half of the Canyon Trail and then taking the trail to the lake...
The Canyon Nature Loop Trail is beautiful...
This fellow was walking towards us as we came to a curve in the trail...Steve managed to get a couple of good shots with his camera...
The trail to Lightning Lake wasn't quite as picturesque...
That's a trout swimming above the flooded trail...
Time for a bit of a rest break before heading back...
When we reached Canyon Nature Trail, we finished the loop back to the campground. There were tons of these pretty little flowers along the side of the trail...
You can see the fenced in lookout on the other side of the river...that is the trail we took when we left the campground...
There's the footbridge in the distance that goes back over the river to the campground...
We were back at our site just before
3:30...hot and tired after a great afternoon hike. After putting our stuff
away...ahhh...it was good to put flip-flops back on....we sat outside enjoying
the sunshine.
