BURNT FORK LAKE

Our friends Shelly and Sheryl stopped by on their way to Texas to see Shelly's mom who is having some health issues.  It was good seeing them and catching up on what has been happening in their lives the past year or so.  We drove up to Burnt Fork Lake to the east of us and hiked into the lake as you cannot drive the last mile and a half or so as the road is gated.  Had a good time and the wildflowers were really great.  Zeph got to do some good swimming after sticks.  He does love doing that. 

Here are three people who have not seen each other for quite some time.  But all three are on their phones!!

The burn area near the lookout is covered with wildflowers.

The gold creek fire left a lot of standing dead trees.

Walking down the road to the lake.

Some really nice views along the way.

Not as much bear grass in bloom this year.

A little spring water running down to the road.

Burnt Fork lake looking south.

Some unusual drift wood along the shore.

A baby sandpiper near the shore.

A happy wet dog who has been retrieving sticks thrown in the water.

Great views.

And lots of flowers.

Lots of vetch along the road.

The old friends.
