Christmas Lake
After more than a month of staying away from the mountains and treating my (apparentlly) stress-fractured right foot with anti-inflammatory gel and ice and a compression brace I couldn’t take it anymore and I drove to the Cedar Falls parking lot and did the Christmas Lake hike.
What I did today is just a bit more strenuous than what I have been doing on my neighborhood walks but here is the difference:

Christmas Lake from the North

Rattlesnake Lake (still very low water level)
Anyway, tomorrow is also supposed to be nice and if my foot continues to fell not-so-bad, I will get out again somewhere.
