Breaking in new shoes

With all of the recent rains this was about as much water as we've seen in Fern Lake.

Coppertone and I wanted a non-muddy hike after lots of recent rains, so we came back here to the back of Jack London State Park. The weather was spectacular and the shoes and my feet seemed to hold up pretty well.

The orchard next to Camp Via was in full bloom and everything looked very verdant. A nice change from the dry and brown scene in the not too distant past.
