I decided to take a dip in Heather Lake (because heck, I would either be coming back to my car dripping with sweat or lake water) and an trio of three older hikers who were enjoying a picnic lunch nearby found enjoyment in my swim. We conversed, our voices traveling over the top of the water and bouncing off the rocks at the waters edge. Before they moseyed on, one of the ladies snapped a picture of the lake and I.

I hope I look like the loch ness monster in the picture.
