Time Out

This is my favorite place in the Trinity Alps .... maybe in all the world .... Time seems to journey slower here ... and thankfully the lake is semi-protected .......... a challenging ten hours or so hike from the nearest road ..... a very steep, over-grown trail ..... all combine .... often assure complete solitude. (Except for deer, chipmunks, birds and the like. They're always about.)

"The wings of Time are black and white,

Pied with morning and with night ...

And all that Nature made thy own,

Floating in air or pent in stone,

Will rive the hills and swim the sea,

And, like thy shadow, follow thee."

--Ralph Waldo Emerson
