The lake is a mess. There are remnants of a new dam that was constructed on the north side of the lake and all the debris has floated, or blown down to the south end. Here are the shots we took while on our hike. The first is of the lake from the top of the hill:
The "scum" on the lake is visible in the lower center portion of that photo. Here is a better view of the mess:
We didn't follow any path on our walk around the lake and there were parts of the edge that were washed out from the heavy rains this past summer. We did eventually make it around the lake, and these two shots are of Josie along the way:
The marina bar was not open when we arrived there, but the marina store was. We bought something to drink and sat in the nice lounge area on the dock:
Our walk around the lake was followed by a brief trip to the grocery to pick up a few things and to get ready for Halloween night. Last year, we had about 20 kids and there was no guarantee that this year would be any different. It was. We had everything ready for the kids as the sun was sinking in the west:
All of the goodies for handing out are in a bowl that is with the candles you see in the lower right of the photo. We sat at our table and waited...and waited...and waited. No kids at all came by and at 7 PM, we closed up and came inside the fifth wheel. Last year, there were several families around us that had children and this year, we haven't seen any which must explain why it was a dud.
I received an email response from my effort to be part of the Aramark team at the Super Bowl in Early February. It will be played at the Glendale Stadium where the Cardinals play. I was accepted for a warehouse spot or a cashier, whichever I prefer. It looks like I will be attending the Super Bowl - and getting paid - even though I probably won't get much of a chance to watch the game. It should be a fun experience with all the excitement. Training begins in mid January, about the time my unemployment payments stop from Wyoming...
