Bush Whacking at Rat Lake (Lago del Ratto Moschiato) September 25, 2010

September 25, 2010

What was supposed to be a short hike proved to be an arduous bush whacking adventure.  In the first place, we started in a wrong trail. When we realized it, instead of going back, Ivano decided we should climb up the mountain and look for the right trail. It was a night mare jumping over big fallen trees, rocks and bush whacking. We were instead following the animal trails.

To think that I just had an EKG in the medical center because of high blood pressure the day before and I went to the laboratory this morning and still have to do the ecostress heart test on October 5.

I did not have anymore energy left. Instead of lunch at noon, we had lunch past 4 PM when we reached the lake.

Rat Lake is a small alpine lake and muddy because of the activity and presence of muskrats.

On the way down, Ivano loss his binocular. When we found the trail, we noticed how short it was if we hit the right trail right away.

Here is the link of a video in facebook

Ciaoooooooo......

    Ti do' una bella notizia ,ho trovato lavoro come donna di pulizia in un solarium a Paradiso e sono un po' piu' contenta.
    Oggi sono andata con Enrica e Liz a fare una piccola camminata a Caslano, il tempo era abbastanza bello non troppo caldo.
    Buona serata e cari saluti
