Wood’s Lake loop hike

Today we drove up highway 88 to Carson Pass and parked at Wood’s Lake. We took the Winnemucca Lake trail (as we have done several times in the past). The wildflowers were blooming in profusion. After resting a bit at Winnemucca, we continue the climb up to Round Top Lake (around 9,300 ft elevation). We were debating about continuing down the Lost Mine Trail to return to Wood’s Lake (which we have never done because it always seemed so dry when we looked that direction). While talking, we greeted another couple who said it was a great hike, with lots of flowers. It was indeed, a wonderful hike down.

I was 0 for 2 on the geocaching scene. Both were lame micros in the woods. They were lame not because I couldn’t find them, but because one was written up incorrectly and the other was apparently a micro in a pile of rocks.
