My family spends 5 days at Ross Lake Resort every summer in mid July.  We just got back a few days ago.  Wonderful place — I did some very modest hiking to try out my knee.  It began hurting on the second day of the trail between the resort and Ross Dam.  So I stopped not wanting to go backwards with my recovery. It seems likely that I won’t make it up again this summer though I haven’t given up completely.  I wish I had the operation in January not April.

I did take a picture looking up the lake with  a telephoto lens from on the water near Big Beaver.  You can perhaps just see a couple of pixels of the LO structure at the summit of the small rise in the center…….

A kayaker I met had hiked Deso the day I took this picture and told me that a construction crew is up there with Jim replacing the shutters.  Nice.  Love to see the maintenance getting done…
