Heading in to set up camp |
Dinner at shoe box falls |
The beaver dam was breached on the side, but the beavers seemed happy and active further up stream |
Morning brought wet rock on the way to the road |
Water tank under construction limited access to the trailhead |
A burnt out tree on the trail |
The trail |
Strange little shelter on the trailside |
The herdpath to Esther |
The plaque on Esther |
And a good place for a snack |
The trail skirts the base of a Wall of the war memorial highway |
Nearing the summit |
The summit |
Lunch time |
Spending an hour on the summit gave me a half dozen ten second upward glimpses of blue sky |
Plaque inside the summit shelter |
Glorious vegetation on the ridge trail |
Water tower has a roof and is concrete, not a form |
Along the Ausable river south of upper Jay |
Breakfast in the morning |
View of the Dix range throught the trees from camp site |
Buffalo farm along the roadside |
Part of the process of making buffalo burgers |
