Huxley Lake

Parked at our entry point - we thought this was the beginning of the 018 spur which was supposed to connect to the 136 spur but that didn't happen I believe this is a landing off the 4611-136 spur Kirk standing where we popped out onto the 4611-136 spur This is where we popped out of the woods coming up from 4611 LOTS of signs for the Roaring Wilderness boundary -  I followed the boundary for a while Blazes along the Wilderness boundary Blazes along the Wilderness boundary Benchmark along Roaring River Wilderness boundary Crossing an un-named creek on Huxley Lake trail Crossing an un-named creek on Huxley Lake trail Crossing an un-named creek on Huxley Lake trail Huxley Lake - it was snowing lightly at this point Campsite at Huxley Lake - last time I was here there was a pretty fresh ground fire Huxley Lake thru the trees - it was snowing more heavily at this point I found it interesting -the skunk cabbage blooming right next to the snow Thor with snow on him Thor and Ollie with snow on them The little clearing where the junction down to Huxley Lake is The little clearing where the junction down to Huxley Lake is One of the really nice segments of trail One of the really nice segments of trail - by this time it was getting rather foggy A very large tree we saw on the way back - you can vaguely see my hiking pole for reference - I'm guessing it was 8 feet in diameter. This is the ACTUAL spot where the trail pops out onto the 4611-136 spur road One of the large mud puddles we had to traverse on 4611 One of the large mud puddles we had to traverse on 4611
