Talapus Lake 10.22.06

Since today was family day I had the privilege of trading in my regular pack with the brand new baby backpack. I was very pleased that we had another beautiful fall day to break in the new gear. I expected some bigger crowds so I left the wild dingos at home. The baby took well to her new digs and we were off for the easy jaunt to Talapus Lake. With the wife keeping good pace we made the lake in no time. Although it was a nice sunny day it hadn't warmed the lake enough for some good lounging time. We stayed a short while until dinner plans didn't afford any more time. We passed the multitudes on the way out getting some great smiles for my precious cargo. I can only hope to have half as special day tomorrow when I retrade for my regular pack and am joined again by my ever annoying pets.
