PEARRYGIN LAKE PARK

We were happy this morning to see that the rain had finally stopped. It wasn’t a bad storm, just light rain all night long. The sun never came out today, but it didn’t stop the humans from their plans for a bike ride in the State Park.  Well, at least 3 out of 4 planned to ride, but my Kathe decided to just hike in the park. She wanted to avoid another crash after her last encounter with the pavement. At least she can still stay upright while walking!

The bike trail started out on gravel and then turned into a single narrow track. It was difficult for Warren as his electric bike wasn’t working at all and Kathy’s controller stopped working several times causing her to fall into the bushes. Seems like Jim was the only one who enjoyed the ride. His bike has lots of gears in addition to an electric motor. They were all disappointed except my Kathe who walked for about an hour and then sat on a bench reading her Kindle while waiting for the riders to return.

 While she was hiking she stopped to take some pictures of the lake. The terrain was very dry and there was recently a fire in one area of the park. There were still lots of green pine trees and grass around the lake. A good lake for the paddle boarders.

If you’re wondering what I’ve been doing I’ve been taking very slow walks around the campground and along the river. So far I haven’t seen any wildlife. No chipmunks, no squirrels, nada. I did find a feather this afternoon, but no bird. I’ll keep looking!
