I hiked to Merritt Lake on Sunday (Sept 23) with my friend Chris. It was a pretty short and easy hike (even with 10# extra weight) but it was C-O-L-D at the top. It was the first hike I've done since last Winter where I had to wear more than shorts and a tank top, and I needed more than what I had on! Note to self: gloves and wool hat season is upon us!!
Here are a few pics that Chris sent me (I forgot my camera). He's going to give me a few more soon and I'll post them when I get them. Oh, and there's one of Chris and I with a geocache we found thrown in from the day before. :)
