What looked like a very cloudy day with a good chance of rain, turned out to be a perfect day to hike Eklutna Lakeside Trail. My friend Alice, and I have a goal of working up to hiking the full 12 miles to Serenity Falls and back in one day. Last Tuesday we did 10 miles, to Bold Creek and back. We pushed on and added two more miles today and covered 12 miles. We're hoping to add a couple miles each week until we reach our "Alice & Caren Eklutna Lakeside Trail Challenge." Our challenge also includes Baby the chihuahua. Today, Baby rode part of the way in my backpack though. I'm not so sure she was tired so much as tired of the continual wind in her face. We humans were also getting a bit tired of that. But at least it was to our backs on the return. We were lucky that it never rained on us, but the clouds had certainly rolled in by the time we were back to the car.
Next week, 14 miles!
