The first hike of the day was a bike/hike to Lone Geyser. It was a pleasant bike hike along partially paved road. The geyser erupts every two to three hours for ten to 15 minutes and we arrived just in time for the show. We ate lunch in the car and then started to hike to Riddle Lake, a very flat 4.6 mile round trip. About a mile into the hike in the lodgepole forest the wind kicked up and the sky darkened. The trees were really noisy in their movements against each other. Did it mention the advice to stay out of the lodgepole forests during storms. The lodgepole pine roots are very shallow and the forests containing them look like so many pick-up sticks. So...we had a two mile hike. We did bedding and linens today, packed up the bug tent and rolled in the awning. That way if it should rain everything is dry.
