Pine and Cedar Lakes Hike

I got out of lab today and went, again with Mark and Shona, on a hike.
Today, we did the Pine and Cedar Lakes trail.

It was about 5 miles round trip, except we took a detour circumnavigating Pine Lake which added a bit of time and distance to our stats.

We made friends with some dogs on trail.
We saw some Elk/giant deer tracks, some mystery poop, a blue heron, an abandoned jacket, a toilet and lots-o skunk cabbage.

I don't find the smell of skunk cabbage offensive; it is more nostalgic for me and makes me think of spring time in Preston.

It was pretty vertical for a while which proved daunting in the beginning but was fun for galloping down on the way back.
Overall, good hike, pretty lakes, tons of skunk cabbage and once again, wildly agreeable company.
Good day. Math test tomorrow.
