Iron Mountain Lake with Reno and Sheila

 

Iron Mountain Lake and surrounding lakes are a nice short hike  and  lunch spot  about an hour from home.  August 22, 2004

Martha and Sheila moving through the talus.

Martha discovers a small, quiet,  pond with nice reflections.  (She’s not really sticking her tongue out, it’s just the lighting on her chin.)

The reflections seem to spook Reno who throws a rock in the pond  to drive them away.

I take a photo of Martha taking photo of Reno taking photo of  Sheila who heads out to sea.

And so Reno throws a rock.

 

Heading around a small lake.  Reno is in center, throwing a  rock.

On shore of Iron Mtn Lake.  Reno thinks he sees some good  rocks.

Reno achieves multiple skips.  All told, about about 850 lbs of rock was transferred into the water this way over the course of several  hours.

      

Sheila admires a huge fir tree.

Sheila decides to hug the tree.  I’m not sure what Reno’s  doing,  possibly trying to lift the tree (presumably for transfer  into  the water).
