May 25 - Donner Park and Hiking

Today’s adventure was at Donner Summit overlooking Donner Lake. Very rugged and rocky. Try to imagine you were with the Donner Party coming through here in the winter. 

Then it was on to Donner State Park to hike along the lake and in among the trees. 

Beth and Ken found some snow to touch. 

Stopped at Donner Ski Ranch for a Strawberry-Rhubarb pie for dinner and probably breakfast, too!!!

On the way home, Lenny was a bit tired. We left the dogs in the car when we walked around Truckee and Lenny ate Bill’s half Reuben sandwich. His tummy might be a little full. 

Stopped in Truckee for lunch at Jax’s Diner and a walk around town. 

Back home we had to take them on Shan and Carl’s ditch trail. This is one of the trees along the way. We are going to compare this one to some of the redwood trees at the Redwood State and National Forest. 

So till we were all done hiking, we had about 14,000 steps.
