Eagle Lake & Bird Ridge

Symphony Lake

Eagle Lake, about 4.5mi from the trailhead

Bird Ridge- great views along the way

Were a little nervous about bears since there was lots of scat and a mauling took place last month

taking a breather

utilizing the Nat Geological Institute's marker

selfie of the worst kind

Finally made it to the top of Bird! (was cloudy looking back)

but beautiful toward the arm


the boys (Cody with a mouth full of sunflower seeds)


such a good hiking pup


couldn't resist the photo-op


It was great hosting you, Dan. Until we meet again...

Highlights of Darci & Tim's Trip and Our Staycation



Tim & Darci kayaking


family golf night









MIL & FIL made it to the top of Mt Baldy






Cody's birthday dinner: macedamia nut crusted halibut, spicy salmon, zucchini cakes and creamy lemon pasta (with garden fresh salad and herbs)

With his requested strawberry rhubarb pie



Camping on the Homer Spit, 15 feet from the tide


Old friends reunited


Morning beach scene



Before we all were ill

Tim's halibut

The very last cast, already over time, and I finally pull up this beaut

But it kept flopping around

Kayla with her halibut

Dan, only one to catch two

Cody and Darci were too ill to make more than 4-5 casts- it was a long boat ride for them
