I was looking forward all week to getting out today into some fall scenery. I was not disappointed.
A Golden Hike to Silver Lake

Stensen and I went up to Grandpa's today in Gainesville to help clean up his property after all the trees fell in the ice storm a while back. While we did not get it all done, we had fun doing what we did.
