Killarney Sep 5

 Today was our "rest day". Meaning, we get to camp on the same site and not have to pack and unpack. BUT we were going for a hike today.

 The hike could be accessed off of David Lake, but quite on the other end. So it took over an hour to paddle over there. We just hopped in two canoes...to maximize our number of paddlers per boat.

 The trail had open sections at the beginning which are very beautiful to walk through. There are huge piles of stones to mark the trail...lest you get lost in the fog and rain, or snow. Maybe.

 So folks, we have to head to the left, go down, then go forwards, head right and go back up.

Better get goin'

 It sure is hot out, so rest time is in the shade.

 The other kids got ahead of Evelyn and I. We plodded on at the back, taking gorp every now and then, or water, for energy. Are we almost there?

 Yay! We made it!

 What a view!

 Heading off to where we thought the peak was...it was actually on the other side. We did make it eventually.

 View to the ocean. Oh, oops, that's just a lake. Great.

 Lotsa fun walking on the open top. Lots of flat smooth rock to run around on.

 Lovely views all around.

 Back down again...steep sides to walk past!

 The way down was long. Lotsa tired folks plodding along. Had to ration the water a little as well. And once at the lake we weren't home free either. Lotsa paddling 'til we are back. We were happy that it wasn't windy or rainy, just a plodding paddle back.

 Yay, we made it!
