Pogue Lake

To Pogue Lake we did go.  Beautiful as always.  Fun to find the way through the tangles of trees.  We watched a young Texan bring in a brown trout that was too big to keep.  Flowers were numerous and exquisite.  We enjoyed the presence of two new repeaters, one from last year.  Both were good path finders, even when the path seemed to disappear.

As most of you know, this is one of the least strenuous of our hikes, but the lovely landscape urges us to take our time and appreciate the variability.  

We had a request at the parking lot--to find a nice wandering mule.  We saw footprints but never confirmed that they belonged to the mule who had wandered off from Roy's campsite.  It could be that the mule got homesick and headed out—the truck license plate said "Texas."
