Tuesday night eleven of us went to the tombstone (red rocks) area of Spenceville and hiked towards the moon. As the sun set behind us, the moon brightened enough to see, precluding the need for flashlights. On the balmy evening, we hiked 3.5 miles. Afterwards, six of us gathered at Rod and Susan's Lake Wildwood house to enjoy wine, cocktails, and snacks. They are quite the decoraters with a modern hillside house. Even their cat and dog were black, nicely complementing the decor. Rod and Susan love to hold parties and their generosity is evident and much appreciated.
Wednesday, six of us (four from the night before) hiked at Lake Valley Reservoir. We did the usual hike to the rock outcropping with the stupendous view where we usually stop for lunch. This time, it was too early for lunch so we took Clarence's suggestion from the previous night (he couldn't hike with us Wednesday) of continuing on to Kelly Lake. The route involved a very steep rutted downhill section but was otherwise pleasant. We were particulary impressed by the many gooseberries we saw (Darlene - take note). Kelly Lake must have a lot of people who visit as it had two outhouses. As far as we know, we were the only ones there except for a group on an ATV which putt putted by on the road. We sat on a rock and ate lunch. The way back was dicey in that the area is laced with logging and off road vehicle trails. But the forest was lovely and we finally got a good view so we could figure out the way back to the cars. We had hiked 6.5 miles.
