| Johnson Lake |
We got an early start 9:10 (for us it
is early) and headed for nearby Lake Winniwonka but saw a sign pointing to
Johnson Lake and decided to go see it too.
 |
| Friendly fellow |
Johnson is a cold clear mountain lake
with a 1.5 mile trail around it. We hit
the trail and seemingly at every turn, we encountered another beautiful view of
mountains and lake – clicking on, I took some pictures of a woman fly fishing
from a float tube. She was the only
fisherman on the lake and I was envious. (We met her in the parking lot later
and she had caught a few brookies.)

| She told us she got Saturday morning to fish |
About 2/3 of the way around the lake
were 2 red Adirondack chairs on a high hill above the lake – of course we had
to sit awhile and contemplate the beauty around us. It turns out the Canada Parks system is
placing chairs like these on beautiful spots throughout the country.
After our walk, we continued to
Winniwonka and while it was beautiful, it was overrun with people and lots of
commercial boat rides, power boat rentals and just didn’t have anything like
the wilderness flavor we had just experienced at Johnson Lake.

| Even old people like to hold hands |
Tonight, the weather was great and I
broke out my griddle for the gas grill and whipped up a batch of my famous (to
Mary at least) cranberry pancakes. YUM!
