Fragrance Lake

I'm behind in my blogging. My course books have arrived, so I'm trying to do some homework before my summer intensive classes in Michigan in July. However, I've been getting distracted by cute knitting projects!! These pictures are from last Sunday. After church, we went on a hike up to Fragrance Lake. Our international friend, Jeremy, will be going back to Hong Kong soon, and he really wanted to try fishing before going home. A lot of the prettier hikes still have snow or have avalanche warnings, so we stuck closer to home.

There were some huge cedars and pines along the way. The lake pictures are looking right and left from the top of the hike at Fragrance Lake. It's not really large, but it's a pleasant resting point, and the fish were jumping. Ryan was teaching Jeremy the tricks of the trade. We had to watch out when he (Jeremy) was casting!

The guys fished on the log while I sat and watched. I don't like to fish or hurt 'things'. I got a little hurt though when the careless person before us left a hook on the seat that I sat on!! At least it barely pricked my skin. I went over to Ryan and told him that I thought I had a hook in my rear and sure enough I did!

Ryan caught about 3 trout--nothing worth keeping though.
