Fifteen of us hiked briskly to the lean-to at Bear Lake near McKeever with everyone making it. It was a gorgeous day with temps in the low 70’s, hiking approx 5.5 miles round trip. A prior attempt on snow shoes resulted in less than perfect results and a rep that Sharon says is unshakeable. Lunch at the lean-to was nice with minimal bug annoyance and then we hiked back.
While heading back, Dick lent his “leatherman” to another hiker to remove a fishing hook from his dog that was swimming in the lake. At the same time a group of hikers with their dogs were passing by with one happening to be a veterinarian who also aided assistance.
