Baxter here at the healm of the blog. Little Fox's roommates and I are on vacation and today we are off on a hike. The adventure starts at Lost Creek Lake near Prospect, Oregon. The Army Corp of Engineers built a dam here many years ago and is in charge of the reservoir and the trails around the lake.
The lake looks like it's in good shape. Lots of water, the trees are green. No drought this summer.
The clouds are coming in. Do you think this bear is going to get wet?
I think this is a pacific madrone tree. Hard to tell from this picture but the tree has a nice red hue to the bark.
Is it lunch time yet?
One of the stops on the trail was an area called "Blue Grotto". Sounds interesting so I decided to check it out.
An easy side trip off the main trail. Not too spectacular. There is a small pool, it's kind of blue and a waterfall. Perhaps when the snow melts more the waterfall and grotto really sparkle.
Wildflowers are starting to come out.
Not a bad little adventure for this bear. Of course a nice lunch was waiting for me on the trail. Turkey sandwich, rice cakes, and a granola bar. No ice cream stand along the trail, I guess I will have to make sure we stop somewhere on the way home.
Um, we had more snow yesterday...yes, you heard us...snow. Luckily, it all melted by this morning. But Jerry is not in a happy mood.
