It was a beautiful day at Applegate Lake today with temperatures in the high 50s and low 60s under full sun and with little to no wind. In the morning the lake offered mirror like views of the surrounding countryside.

We had lunch on Hal's point and took refreshment at Boomtown after the hike. While we were waiting for the car shuttle at the end of the hike we decided to walk back over the dam to meet the drivers on Upper Applegate Road which added a mile or so to the hike.
