My family hiked to Lena Lake yesterday. It was the kids' first visit there. The hike through the mountains was as beautiful as I remembered.
The water level in the lake was really high--we had a difficult time getting close to the water. We eventually found a little spot where the dog could jump in and cool off his dusty feet.
On the way back down, I felt my own feet burning and knew I was developing a blister or two. When I peeled off my socks on the ride home, I was shocked by the size of the blister on one of my little toes: it covers the whole bottom of my poor toe. I wore my normal everyday socks, instead of my wool hiking socks and paid for it.
Lesson learned: Wear wool socks!
