I thought for sure that we'd see tracks from wild animals here along the shoreline but again we came up empty handed.....the only footprints to be seen were ours.....
At the upper end of the first lake we had to make our way back to the well troddened path.....there was just too much downfall from the pines to make bushwacking worth our while.....
At the upper lake we found a single, quite small, wooden bench which is where we chose to have a late lunch and to allow the dogs to have their well deserved swim.....
I'd guess that it couldn't have been more than 40 degrees when we rested there on that bench. An intermittent light rain began to fall as the clouds were a mix of white, blue, grey and black.....it was so eerily quite & incredibly beautiful there. Finally I decided that it was time to head back to the rig.....
I had actually hoped to climb a nearby peak on this hike but the peak, surrounded by clouds, just wouldn't be possible on that day. Instead, on the way back, with a pause in the rain, we took a short detour in our hike to admire the Big Timber Falls.....
We ended that day back at the fairgrounds once again camped away from any possible upcoming activities.....and from what I saw when we pulled through the fairgrounds gate, I knew that there must have been some weekend activities planned.....
