I enjoyed this walk, and possibly was very aware that sunny warm days were soon going to be a memory!
Looking uphill past the lake, there are vacation homes which often sit empty through the winter...though some (most) might belong to retired members of the Presbyterian Church, which started the college.
Another view of that dormitory. I would imagine the rooms on this side of the building are premium, but maybe the other side offers good sunsets and mountains.
Lake Susan is formed by a concrete dam, which receives water from mountain streams, the main one being named Flat Creek. It pours over the dam in this photo, and runs through several play areas designed for children to play in the water.
Ten Thousand Villages has a store and great views of the lake, the dam, and the stream below. I love to shop there, but it wasn't in my plans last Saturday.
I appreciate everyone's wishes for my health to improve. My COVID-19 test was negative. But I may have a regular cold, as suggested by a friend. Or something like a flu, though I had the vaccine for it. But as of now the fever has subsided and I'm sneezing. Is that a good thing? I hope so!
