It had been too long since I had been on a good hike. There are two reasons I haven't been hiking lately, my joints (knees and hips), and my kids, they pretty much hate it. But today I decided I was hiking Lake Mountain and nothing would stop me. I ditched everyone and went alone. I had no Idea how far it was to the peak, but it didn't matter, I was making it to the top.
It was not a pretty or fun hike. It was dusty and windy, steep, rocky, cold and painful but I made it.

| This was the goal! |
 |
| I didn't anticipate the snow and cold |
 |
| The last bit was nasty, very steep |
 |
| Just a few more steps |
 |
| Worth it! |
 |
The descent was especially painful,
but I caught some pretty views....
and Ben surprised me along the trail
and hiked the last .85 with me. My hero! |
