So have you ever skipped a rock across a frozen lake? It’s actually quite fun. I know, such little things amuse me so much. But as I was waiting for the sun to show its’ face this morning, I tried doing this. The rocks go incredible far on the ice, and make a very strange noise. Okay, I know I’m weird. But I bet you’ll be trying it next time you have a chance.

I got to Fallen Leaf Lake a bit early. In the winter, the campground is closed. You have to walk in from the road over the snow. But it is a popular location in the winter as well, and there are plenty of tracks through the snow. But no one is there at sunrise. They all came later, after the sun was well up above the horizon. That suits me just perfectly.
