Hike #99 Narada Falls to Reflection & Lousie Lakes 11-30-09
When I checked the weather it was supposed to be party sunny @ Rainer. Annie had one more day of vacation so we went for it.. I've been around Rainer 3 days in the last week..and I don't mind a bit!
We got to the parking lot around 9 and headed up the trail. It was a well established trench and was quite easy. Probably the easiest hike we have ever had here. Crunchy snow and not much of it. But still very beautiful. We were able to see a quick glimpse of the mountain today at Kautz creek but that was it.
Annie got a new pack and was trying it out today. Worked out well for her. I hope she's not too sore tomorrow. We got to Reflection lake and had a seat and were soon joined by 3 birds begging for food. Wind picked up and cut lunch short. We headed on to Lousie Lake and I saw a spot that looked like it might be fun for a slide.. Annie was up for it so she did. Good Times! There were some sunbreaks today but not many. Really WINDY on the way back.
Lovely day out and the good news is ... I got a job offer when I got home today, it's temporary but could turn into full-time! So just as I finish one chapter and goal here comes another one on it's heels!
Now.. where to plan 100....Who wants to come? Seems like it will be a weekend at this point, since I have to get up and go to work..
