Lake Van Norden walk

After viewing the progress Jodi is making with some work on her cabin Commando and I walked around Lake Van Norden. This is a beautiful alpine meadow and is part of the Yuba, Truckee, and American River watersheds. There is a partially dismantled dam that has created the lake...don't know why it hasn't been fully removed.

I followed a random use trail for a while, then walked along the edge of the lake, then cut across the main stream (getting my feet wet), then followed a very straight trail back to the car.

Saw some small black frogs and a hawk. Commando really enjoyed the open space and ran and ran and ran.
