Fragrance lake Trailblazer hike

16 of us carpooled from the Bellingham Senior Center to the Cleator road.


I was told that we were starting on the Two Dollar trail and would be joining the Fragrance lake trail.

We noticed pink ribbons on the road and trail as well as yellow signs alerting all trail users that there was to be a Trail Running event on the upcoming Saturday,


The trail today had quite a bit of down trees and branches. We stepped over this one near the trail head. Owen, Ed and my husband Dick in this photo, did their trail work duties on our way out and cleaned it all up. Way to take initiative! 


Here and there we got a glimpse of Bellingham Bay through the trees.


We all stopped to admire some one's great trail work.


and as I said earlier my husband Dick was able to join us today -yay!


Some of the sights along the trail today -

Eagle Scout benches
Waterfall
Wondrous Trees and Roots
After a nice walk around the (still lightly frozen) lake we stopped for lunch -



Cindy's great lunch spot
Before we left the Senior Center this morning Frank announced that it was his and Marjan's 49th wedding anniversary today. 
Happy Anniversary to the lovebirds!!
