Convict Lake
Now that we are back out in the wild though, the outdoor activities are back on… so on our very first day we set out to a highly recommended hike around Convict Lake. The Lake got its name thanks to some escaped convicts from Carson City back in the 1871. The lake is where the posse caught up with the convicts and a shootout ensued. No idea why the convicts came here. There really is no place to hide. Nevertheless, it is a cool story that added to the enjoyment of the day.
Byron and Moose got to join us for the nearly 4 mile hike. Moose loved it (off0leash most of the day) and Byron was a champ, both playing in the water and hiking his longest trail since his rear leg injury. You just can’t talk him into his age, he simply will not allow it.
