I had more substantial plans for today. Fellow Nwhiker Bryan and I were slated to spend some time peakbagging in the area around Robin Lakes. I was forced to bag the day's festivities due to my daughter being very ill. I do pass on my most sincere apologies to Bryan for bagging out at the last minute. Thankfully my daughter made a rapid recovery. I had small window of time in the afternoon so I was looking for something quick and easy. I had only been on the Ira Spring trail to where it starts it's descent to Mason Lake. I have been to Mason Lake many times in the past I wanted to add a third route. The weather was very warm, mostly it was just hard on the dogs. I was forced to linger in areas of shade to give the pups some relief. I however made it quickly to the Western shore where I wanted to have lunch. Too bad for me the gnats had the same idea. The bugs won out and hightailed it back to the car.
Approx 7.5 miles 2100+ft of climb 2:50 car to car
