Echo lake

It has been a peaceful week in an idyllic setting. Ribeye steaks on the grill, cocktail in hand, and the sun setting behind the mountain. I couldn't ask for more.

De Anne has gotten her hikes in, without me, on the trails in the park across the lake. I have accompanied her on several exploratory canoe trips around the lake, then called my exercise done for the day and retired to the deck with a book.

Tomorrow we begin the long, slow journey back to the lands that require air conditioning. I say slow only because a couple more short stops are planned.
