Having spent some time enjoying the majesty of Raven Rock we headed for home. It was at this point that I realized that the long downhill stretch to the rocky outcrop was now a long uphill stretch. And after walking for 1.5 hours already my aging legs were starting to ache. Moreover I soon made a mistake. I came across one of the trails heading back and mistakenly turned in the wrong direction. After walking for quite some time I realized that I wasn’t seeing the lakes that I was expecting to see. Since I didn’t know where this particular trail was going to end up there was nothing for it but turn around and go back, adding extra time to my journey.

I was close to where I’d started when I noticed this dead tree with the rolling hills in the background.
