My friend Chris wanted a new Facebook profile photo. Last year I took her FB profile shot near Lunch Peak lookout, which she occupied and called in fires for a summer season during the 1970s.
So what better place than near another Forest Service lookout where she also worked years ago!
We were planning to go to Priest Lake, but when Chris arrived at the Lovestead, she had a new suggestion: Roman Nose Lake.
Funny how I'd had that destination in mind while considering the possibilities earlier.
So, it took no persuading. The car headed north rather than west.
Chris had not been up to the area in decades. She marveled at its present set-up, which beautifully laid-out for back country hikers as well as the wheelchair bound.
Board walks around the alpine lake below where a lookout tower once stood allow anyone easy access to enjoy its stunning beauty.
The trip did not disappoint. We talked steadily, as always, for almost six hours yesterday. At Roman Nose, we walked part-way around the lake and then plopped on a couple of the huge rocks at one end of the lake.
We topped off the day of visiting with a meal at Slate's, then went our separate ways with plans to do this again next year.
I'm hoping Chris will like her profile photo, and, if she does, maybe we can add the photo shoot as an annual task for the get-together.
She snapped a few shots of me, too, with my smaller camera.
Happy Tuesday.
