Easter adventures in Ely part II

 We had the best Easter adventures, with lots of romps out in the snow.

We didn't know why, but the 2-leggeds said
we needed to get out and do some running.
Something about too much noisy
tussling in the house.
So we headed to our favorite close-to-town yet
in the woods trail, which goes around Bass and Dry Lake.

Ya, this is shelf rock country.

We had to practice jumping up on things here.

Today we went around Dry Lake, rather than
the longer romp around Bass Lake.

Dolly was glad there were bridges over the scary creeks.

At this very same location 4 years ago,
a certain puppy WOULD NOT get near this creek.
Puppies are always sure they will fall in and
get washed away in the torrent. Even if the stream is a trickle!
This stream connects Dry Lake to Bass Lake and has a
pretty little (scary?) water fall.

Kinda hard to believe we did an overnight back
pack trip here at this same time of year,
4 years ago. But we don't mind a late spring.

Last year some of the trail was re-routed. The crew
also build this bench from a fallen tree.

The 2-track from the trail head to the lake is open
for snowmobiles, and it's a fairly popular
ice fishing spot.

Now on an island at Semer's Park in Ely.

Never fear! We still had plenty
of energy left over for tussling.

Later, the holiday Potica was assembled.
Dad is the pro roller, but he lets Sandy help a bit.

MMMM walnut and honey filling.

Then the rolling.

Just like the pros! Dolly approved.
