hiking to Ely Peak.. a Great Day!











It was a lovely day.  Overcast but warm and we decided on the way to Chester to change course and head up Spirit Mountain to hike to the Ely Peak.  We turned a 6.5 mile hike into about 8.5 miles by missing the trailhead and coping with a washed out bridge but that was just fine.

One interesting aspect of the hike was the varieties of mushrooms growing out there.  We found several  "Chicken of the Woods" mushrooms that grow on the sides of old logs.. orange in color and very pretty.  We picked a few and Annie cooked them up with a bit of garlic and they were delicious.

All in all, a nice day... Life is Good.
