On his morning walkie, Mooch discovers the campground kitty.
Hiking on Eel Lake trail with our RV friends, John & Sue.
As we hiked, both Chanterelle & Hedgehog mushrooms on the side of the trail called out, wanting our attention. The pic was taken in front of John & Sue’s coach - they are the folks who gave us the idea for the cat eyes.
All good things must end. It's time to head home. Clear lake, just off of Hwy 101, is in the background.
