Porkies Mirror Lake adventures, day III

With more firewood cut yesterday, we'll go for a nice hike towards the lake today.
It was a glorious morning to be outdoor dogs.

With the cabin being heated, the icicles are formed.

Oh good!  We head out with enthusiasm.

The snow had got deeper overnight.

Trail mutts do like snow.

Arly, I'll show you how all-paw drive works.

Sandy spies interesting fungus.

The hemlocks lying here are 4ft in diameter.

Hummmm, wonder who was here ahead of us?

A bear!

We made it down to one crossing we wanted to see.
This is the Big Carp, and several years ago there was a bridge....
not a dangerous ford.

Sandy studies the map.
It's been a few years since we were here.

We continued on down to the next ford of the Big Carp.

This is a logjam we used to get across a few years ago.

There was little snow here, maybe 1/2 an inch. Time to head back!

A little more snow here.

Lots more here as we get close to Mirror Lake.

We cut a bit more wood before heading in.
Later, Sandy wrote in the cabin's journal.

As 2 trail mutts fell fast asleep.
































































































































































Stay tuned for the next day.
