The day was cool, great for hiking. The trail was in good shape. When previewed, there had been a great deal of rain and some of the watercourses were difficult to cross. Fortunately, the rain had abated in the days preceding the hike so this was not a problem. Then stopped at Kratzy’s for a quick beer.

The only annoyance on the hike was the presence of a closed lane on the Mckeever bridge. Traffic backed up to the center of Otter Lake on the trip to the Lake and a mile on a half on our return from it, fortunately, on the return, traffic let us through the line so we could return home.
