The swimmer dries and today's adventures have come to a close.

The next day it is time to head for Marshall Meadow. We are heading up to Pacific Valley Trail, and again, before we even reach that train wreck of a trail, you can see the amazing stone work steps now being buried and destroyed due to neglect. The bone breaking work of the older generations rots as the new lazy (redundant I know) socialists take over. Some of the stones used to build retaining walls etc, weigh hundreds of pounds. Water diversion rocks are being pushed off by vegetation and downed trees. Without urgent work, the cost of restoring these trails, will be enormous. I'm fine with them giving me my tax dollars back and eliminating the Forest Service and BLM in their entirety, but if you are going to bleed us dry, I expect something for the billions of dollars these idiots spend every year. We all know just how intelligently these morons are managing the forests as the massive fires each year are not caused by the big lie "global warming," but by gross mismanagement. Oh, and let is not forget the psychotic liberal that last year intentionally lit the largest fire in Taxifornistan as well as a second liberal that lit one of the other mega fires.

So I guess it is accurate that global warming environmentalist wacko loons are the cause of the big fires, and because of that it is related to global warming? Sorry, I'm just trying to think like CNN - now I have a headache.

The Pacific Valley trail is steep, a maze of sticker bushes, manzanita, and downed trees. Here you can see the lake in the distance.
