Summer Vacation

 Friday had quite a bit of rain on and off all day, so after waiting around the lodge for a propane delivery we did a relatively flat hike to Pond of Safety.  It got its name when some soldiers from the Revolutionary War were accused of desertion and went there to hide out.  It must have been a lovely place to spend a few years to avoid the firing squad.  As for us, it was a lovely place to eat lunch in a downpour and head back.  Despite its name, I cut my finger when I got my lunch out of my backpack.

Gail wanted to get back there for a swim, and there's a rough road that goes all the way to it, but we didn't want to test our low-clearance car more than we already were and we didn't have a bike with us.  Next time.
