Schofield Pond

Last week Naomi, I, Bruce, and Miriam hiked into Schofield Pond for a picnic lunch. Here are some pictures of the day. It was one of the few really nice summer days this year.
The trip started with a ferry across rain swollen and beaver dammed Paradox Creek. That's Naomi, Miriam, and me, in order, in the canoe.


We crest the ridge to the pond.

I'm standing in front of the impressive beaver dam across the outlet of Schofield Pond.














Naomi and Miriam stand under a shelf fungus near the outlet of the pond. Miriam is standing on her tip toes so she will appear taller.














The most important part of any picnic - relaxing!





The four of us!



Me, squatting somewhat awkwardly - a little too much arthritis - at a beautiful cascade just below the outlet to Schofield Pond.
