Hiking The Lakeshore Trail At The Marina Trail Head

Yesterday was our second day off this week our first day off we did some decorating for Halloween I will not post pictures yet because we need to find more body parts MUAHAHAHA lol.. Pictures will be posted once the decorating is complete!!!

It is not raining or really hot so a hike sounds like a great thing to do today. Right up the road from the campground there is a trailhead we will hike off of this one. They did not have a  trail map there Todd does not care if he gets lost but he knows I have a problem with it. We spent about 20 minutes trying to DL an app to park our car so we can just pull it up and follow the directions back to the car when we are finished hiking. Todd’s phone did not want to turn the satellites on and mine was about dead so that is what took the most time trying to get it to work. Finally after 30 minutes the car is parked and we are ready to go hiking.

The leaves are changing hiking this time of year if my favorite all the reds and oranges with the green leaves that are left makes for a great pictures believe me I have tons of them haha. This trail is exactly what is says it run along the lakeshore there are a lot of overlooks that make for great pictures and If we did not have the dogs with us I would have sat at one all day long and just listened to the water crash against the rocks I could fall asleep to that any day.If you are a reader this is a great place to take a blanket, book and a snack and spend the whole day just reading with the gorgeous view.  One of the trails we followed took us straight down a cliff with a beautiful views at the bottom really close to the water and you know what happens when you go down you have to go back up STRAIGHT UP THE CLIFF boy did out legs feel it hahah but it was all worth it :-)  I am not sure how far we hiked today since we did not have or need a map they were pretty well marked and used trails I would recommend this hike to anyone and I think we may end up at the beautiful spot with a picnic one day without the dogs it was the beautiful (this spot was down the cliff and back up but if you can do it I think it is worth it).Besides the going straight down and back up this hike almost anyone can do and they do have trails other then down and up that will still take you to the beautiful views.

Along the hike we found a huge tree that Todd and I climbed on of course we have to it was cool looking. We found a tree that looked like a deer you will see a picture of it Cosmo found a squirrel that he chased up a tree and then is just stood there like we could not see it he was cute lol.. At the beginning of the trailhead before we even got out of the car to do the hike we saw 4 deer before I could whip the camera out only one was left and not very visible I did manage to get a picture but you have to really look for him (where is Waldo deer style lol..)
