Seeking gold (leaves), 15 hikers headed to the hills for color. Maureen, Tiana, Akiko, Selma, Laurie, Frank, Grace, Jo, Mary, Tami, Karen, both Marilyns, John, and Elly hiked 6 miles around Loney Meadow and up to the Lakes: Culbertson, and the Lindsays. We lolled around Culbertson and did it again at Lower Lindsay. The sun felt good but after a while, so did the shade. Most Aspens had turned partly gold and there were spectacularly yellow Maples at the beginning of Bowman Lake Road. Dogwoods were a red or yellow color in the dark evergreen forests.
Maureen was feeling particularly frisky and ventured far afield at both lakes to take pictures. We had to call her in from some distance at Cuthbertson. She looked like she was in the gold and I'll bet she has some great pictures.
The stream below Culbertson tested our mettle, being deep and swift with partially submerged unstable rocks and floating logs. ALL made it across without mishap even though they thought they couldn't make it and at least one vowed never to attempt such foolhardiness again her life.
We all miss the Stan, Barbara, and Clarence who could not make it due to treatment, mishap, and surgery. We are thinking of you and hope you all make it back soon.
I thought of a possible hike for next week: Frog Lake Overlook, for those who want. Any other ideas?
