Six Tramps enjoyed a pleasant, nicely paced hike to Middle Settlement Lake. It was a warm day, but the shady trail and breeze kept it comfortable. There were several interesting mushrooms along the way. While we lunched at the lean-to a loon came by, but it disappeared after two brief glimpses. We started the hike back and as we approached the outlet, there was the loon right beside us. It stayed on the surface and called several times.
Soon this little youngster came to it’s mother’s call and they swam off together. What a treat!
Back at the parking area our sweep, Gail had chilled watermelon for a wonderful finish to the day.
