2019-11-01 Spruce Railroad Hike
All the hikers but one
Here's Johnny!
The hike begins with Dewey our dog leader out front
Our other dog Charlie is bringing up the rear
The trail is very wide and well maintained
The trail runs along the lakeside
Note all the fall leaves on the ground
We reach one of the newly opened tunnels
We decided to go around the tunnel on a side path
The reason not to use the tunnel – better view
Lake Crescent from the bridge
Leaves floating on water
A single leaf floating
The last of the fall leaves covered the ground
The fall colors added to the blue lake
Tieta wanted a picture with the fall colors
Maureen and Charlie also wanted a picture
You get a great view of the lake from the trail
The trail is partially blocked by fallen rocks
We made it around the blockage and continued on our way
David in front of the second trail tunnel which has not been cleared yet
John our hike leader pointing out to David things to see
Another good example of how the trail runs next to the lake
All of our hikers look in good spirits
Charlie is happy because he doesn’t have to walk
Bill leading the pack
Gary and Mark definitely look like they are having a good time
Speaking of having a good time – Tieta, Maureen and Charlie look happy
Another view along the trial
John, David and Ken stop for lunch
Judi also stopped for lunch
Bill and Tieta enjoy their lunch
Lunch over so it is time to head back to our cars and home
The trail is a little narrow in spots
This time we are going through the tunnel instead of around it
Out the other side of the tunnel and down the trail back to our cars
Our last view of the lake
That’s all folks!
