Finally hiked south (or is it west?) of where it looks like the lake drops off (see last post):
Elevation drops off at left.
On mah belly, toes to lake, staring westward.

Cool blackened rocks in dried stream bed.
bb hearts wicked cool rocks
Mystery rock: need geologic clue.
What's up with this rock?
Very smooth pale green coating on some of them.
Please tell me. Doesn't seem lichen-y.
Can glacial polish be green??
Yum. Springy turf + fun granite stepping stones = awesome hiking surface.
Preview from future post, wherein I hiked further north, then east...
and encountered other wonders... =)
including a few fauna.
