Hiking every Day

Took a hike today on Lily Lizard trail.  Very pretty and a bit steep.  Steep enough for me to feel winded.

There's a lake about 5 miles up this trail where I read that one can camp.  Don't know that I'll make it this year for an overnighter, but next year for sure.
There is a burn-ban in effect right now even though it is very green here.  I guess the fires on the east side are eating up resources here so they don't want to take any chances.  So, I wouldn't be able to have a camp fire or even use my nifty stove.  Ah well.

Here's a cool tree I walked past.  Made me wonder what it was growing around to get that shape.
Tomorrow I will hike this again and hopefully get a bit farther.  I think I only did 1.5 miles one way.
