Lookout Tree, Beaver Lake — Monday, Mar. 9, 2020

On this nice day I needed to return here to check my handiwork.  I cleared the Lookout Tree Trail last week, some from each end so didn't walk it all at once.

The Beaver Lake Trail has not been maintained yet this year, plenty of branches and trees down, some brush.  Likely it will only be taken care of to the broken bridge over Beaver Lake.

I started from the Lookout Tree end, 2.5 miles up the Mountain Loop from the Beaver Lake T.H..  Went barefoot across the river channel between the trails, found a log next to the river where I could sit and rinse my feet before putting my shoes back on.  I walked the road back to my car because I didn't want to take off my shoes again.

I looked more carefully at the broken bridge, it appears they did it right last time it was rebuilt 20 or so years ago.  There are metal footings across the Lake, should be able to be disassembled and reconstructed fairly easily.

In these economic tough times, wanted you all to know Navy Federal Credit Union still has a 17 month 2.25% CD which can be opened with as little as $50 and added to (max. $75,000) later.
