Duck Lake
July 4, 2008
In spite of published government regulations mandating that on July 4…
…all citizens shall remain in bed until such time as it is deemed appropriate to devour numerous foodstuffs of indeterminate origin, especially those which shall be named as both hot dogs and hamburgs. The consumption of said foods shall officially mark the time at which the citizens shall begin the celebration of our country’s founding with the expenditure of much of our nation’s treasure on really cool Chinese fireworks…
…Chris still got up early for a hike over to Duck Lake. It was just as well that she did, as we are still hoping to get out of here soon for a day trip on the Little Manistee.
The walk into the park was awfully dark, but, luckily, Chris knows the trails very well, especially the one to her favorite swimming spot. We got to the lake just in time for the dawn to start to break over the eastern shore of the lake.
It took Chris only a few minutes of dragging me through some very tall and very wet weeds to get to her swimming spot. It was well worth the soaked jeans to enjoy the view.
