The following day was a sunny contrast to the preceeding day. After a day of even more hiking, supper was cooked-up on a picnic table on the beach at the east end of Lake of Two Rivers. The reflected sun and radiant sand kept us warm until the sun finally disappeared. Barry Bridgeford (Sept. 29th, 2008) |
