Day two, we drove twenty miles east to the Strawberry Mountain Wilderness and hiked the Strawberry Lake trail. Only a mile and half and at the end, an outstanding alpine lake stocked with Brook trout. Next time, I am hiking in a float tube and fly rod.
The Strawberry Mountain Wilderness' peaks are in view from our property and that particular trail head is about a thirty mile drive, although there are closer ones. Click on the link to read about it.
Someone asked me, "what do you do out there?" and I replied, "whatever we want". The response was crass, but true. We sleep in, drink coffee, go out for breakfast, build, fix, or maintain something, fish, hike, shoot guns, buy a Blizzard, BBQ, drink beer and sit by a fire. The sunsets and stars are amazing and it is peaceful. It's just amazing. I am looking forward to exploring new lakes and waterfalls. Maybe one day I will have a llama or donkey that can schlep my gear for me...
