Halloween Weekend

Lake Lucerne grew colder last week and a wee bit deeper. There was rain spread out over the week in tenth of an inch amounts

There was also snow. Some survives in the shadows. More is expected in the next few weeks.

It was decided to climb a bigger rock here on the extreme southwestern corner of the lake. We hiked up the backside of the hill. The front was a little steeper than we like.

It was cooler at the top.

It was also a little chipmunk-y. We were told that this particular sub-species of chipmunk is found only on this mountain top.

It was also a little fossil-y. If you looked , there were a lot of fish and shells in the rock.

On Saturday, it was time to costume up and hit the strip.

For the most part, jawas are accepted here as long as they don

Eventually, the jawas hid in the rocks in front of Harrah

Some old friends found us and we exchanged pleasantries.

Maybe &quot;friends&quot; was too strong a word. One of them claimed we owed him money, or death star plans, or something. It was time for the jawas to flee.

The pumpkins, carved in early October, mostly made it to Halloween weekend.

The rain last week was thin, but still welcome. Every little bit helps. The snow was less welcome, but not completely unexpected for this time of year. It looks like it
