Pitchoff East and Big Cherry Patch Pond
August 2014
Vegetation glowing streamside
a steep climb
up to views
old man's beard
lichen
bunchberries
to balanced rocks
a look aside
a look under
into the crevice
under the ledge
around the corner
a view of Cascade
outlet to big cherry patch pond
following the herd path
under a tree
we find open water
and set in
a cattail wall on an old beaver dam blocks the way
setting into the main pond
we enjoy the water and mountain views
in an hour we have paddled the pond and we head back
