Humpback Rocks, Spy Rock, and Sherando Lake

I was so excited to write my blog post last evening, but after an hour of updating my hikes list, I didn't find the time to write my narrative as well.  Today, that excitement is gone and the post feels a bit more like a chore.  Since I am fairly confident that I am the only person that actually reads my own blog posts anyway, I am going to let my photos do the narrating this time around.



Casey and I at the overlook rock in Sherando Lake Recreation Area.  You can't see it, but the lake is directly behind and below us.  Unfortunately, the trees block the view of the lake, so most of the view is just what can be seen here.

An interesting creature.  I don't know what species it is.  There were many of these around in a creek near the lake.

A bit of the rock scramble up to the top of Spy Rock.  Casey had to give me a leg up the first little section because the rock was wet and slippery.
