I had forgotten how bad the footing is, and how much harder that makes the hike. I suppose I should be glad that steepness per se does not bother me as much as before, neither up nor down.

ReplyDeleteIf there is anything missing from my area, it is interesting mountains. (Since I live in Michigan, I live far from anything that can be considered mountainous. I think most of the State is in the range 500-1500 feet above sea level.)
ReplyDeleteI've seen the top of Brockway Mount, the top of Mount Lookout, and this lake.
But I don't live in that part of the State anymore.
Brockway is nice. This "hiker of a certain age" made the ascent using a minivan.
