Grindstone Lake

One of the top items on my "to do" list here in Ruidosowas do a lot of hiking. Al and I did some overnight backpacking a few years back.  This are is full of trails, both rustic and developed. 

Yesterday we checked out the Grindstone Lake Trail located just a few miles from where we are.

This is a local fishing hole and not just for Ruidosians. There was a pair of Osprey at the lake. 

This one was on the shore and the other was circling above

Of course afterwards there was the obligatory "reward". An adult beverage at Inn of the Mountain Gods 

What a view.
