9/23 - I had intended to do one my usual routes. It's about 7 miles and good exercise. But I soon decided to extend it and then I extended again which made it somewhere around 15+ miles when I was done. I started at the Round Lake trailhead, hiked down to Big Bear Lake, past Little Bear Lake, Cub Lake, around Long Lake to the dam, down to Graeagle Lodge, up to Smith Lake, up up up to Mt. Elwell, over to the PCT (Pacific Crest Trail) to just shy of Gold Lake, down to Round Lake, and then back to the trailhead. All those things to see and 2 pictures...
