Boonie Buster · May 24, 2009

The GF and I hiked up to the lake today, soaked in some sun and sights this morning. Did a loop hike up the Greg Ball trail, to the lake , back down the DNR road. It started getting a bit warm on the way back down, but the view from the road was great. Pics to follow... :awesomework: MAN, there were entirely WAY to many people goign up there when we got back down, the parking lot was a ZOO! (not that there's anything wrong with lots of people enjoying the outdoors, i am just selfish. :fawkdancesmiley::haha

PICS:

These are sorta stitched together......sorta...:redneck:

Me and the wife did that yesterday...up the Woody Trail to the upper falls and then on up to the road, over to the lake and then down the Greg Bail trail and woody to the parking lot. There were a **** load of people, pets, kids, strollers, Japanese tourists, etc...when we hit the Woody trail on the way back at about 11am.

I had some dude in a little hybrid waiting for about 10 minutes for me to leave my parking spot...I love the way the truck puffs a cloud of black smoke when you start it...I'm sure he liked it to :redneck:

What time were you guys on the GB trail heading back down? I wonder if we maybe ran into you guys on our way up... :eeek: if you guys were back at the parking lot at 11am, it was probably you guys that we passed about halfway up the GB trail, cus we didn't run into anyone else coming down. If so...:hi:

And ya, there were SO many Japanese tourists/weekend warriors in that first 1 mile strech it was rediculous and a Messican family that posted up shop at the bike trail junction off the woody trail... noisy.....:looser:

I think we went through before the Taco stand got put up :redneck:

Can't remember what time, we were both in shorts and I was wearing one of these

Kind of, it has a camel back bladder on the back and a few extra pockets, it works sweet for day hikes :redneck:

There were some folks we passed in both directions before 8am on the Woody trail...that was strange seeing others that early.

I too gave up the wheels for a hike with the woman. I headed up to Lake Serene. It was really cool and the views of Reiter were amazing on the way up. You can see the whole area:awesomework:
