Going Left

Brain cancer is...

...finding new views by turning left.

Our choice not to go to the busy trails near the lake today was a wise one.  Neighbor Jeannie said that record numbers of people are coming up here for the escape and upcoming holiday.  So, rather than go to those busy lake trails, we chose a new forest trail.  We went left instead of right at the fork we wrote about here on 5/25.

Left was much better than right!  It surprised us with dense forest (get a taste with the video here) and new views of the lake from above (we went up 36 flights, according to Andi’s phone). 

(Check out Darrell’s video narration here.)

In fact, our crowd avoidance worked so well, we only saw one other person on the trail:  A man running uphill wearing only tennis shoes and bikini briefs (we think?).  He was not even breathing hard. 

We did eventually find the end the trail:  a large dirt parking lot near the dirt road we think might be Polinque Canyon Road.  Andi and I debated if it was better to find the end of trail or have to turn around midtrail and not know what lies ahead.  We have different opinions.  What’s yours?

Like that trail runner, we hope you find today’s tasks easy, Team D! But maybe wear pants.
