This hike was a relatively short and easy one at 4.2 miles. The 14 hikers departed the parking lot at the visitors center and followed the main path. This well maintained path led us to the hidden lake, more like a small pond, then around the lake and return. We did manage to lose three hikers as the group became spread out. By backtracking, we found the wayward individuals and everyone was OK. The weather cooperated with temperatures not so high under an overcast. Looking at the altitude graph it looks hike a tough hike, but if you look at the scale, we only changed a few feet in altitude. Following the hike most of the hikers went to the local City Cafe and had a very good lunch.

This weeks joke is for Tammy as she often mentions she enjoys the jolks.
Setting up Camp: The loaded mini-van pulled into the only remaining campsite. Four children leaped from the vehicle and began feverishly unloading gear and setting up the tent. The boys rushed to gather firewood, while the girls and their mother set up the camp stove and cooking utensils. A nearby camper marveled to the youngsters's father, "That, sir is some display of teamwork." The father replied, "I have a system -- no one goes to the bathroom until the camp is set up."
