Dean & EJ bike around Bear Lake 10-10-11

Dean and I decided we wanted to ride around Bear Lake one more time this year. It was a little cold, but so pretty!

This picture is up on the north shore. It is by far my favorite part of the ride!


We stopped at Gladys' Place to stretch.

The way Dean took this picture of me, it appears I stopped at the Liquor store....which may not have been a bad idea at this point!


The Marina. Looks totally abandoned. This place is dead after Labor Day.
Home Town Drive-In was closed

Didn't appear business was booming at the pizza place either!

Odette and I, and a bunch of Odette's friends all ride around the lake each year. At the end of the ride, we always grab a chair and sit out on the road to cheer for the others as they finish the ride. Odette didn't disappoint!
I love these people!

Dean went for a run the next morning, and instead of an ice bath, he went out into the lake to fetch the anchor. It was pretty much the same as an ice bath!

I know better than to go up to Bear Lake in the fall! (that's the time of year we bought our last place) All the people are gone, and the colors are amazing! We found this lot we really like.....


We got this section ready to put seed down, so next year there will be grass out to the tree. Even in crappy weather, this is an amazing place to hang out!
Thanks Odette

So did you buy another lot? It really is beautiful. I've never been there in the fall!

Didn't buy it....yet. Would make no sense, but would sure be fun to build again!

The colours and scenery are outstanding, what a beautiful place, can imagine sitting beside a big log fire and looking out over the lake at those beautiful hills and the lake in front. Loved the 'deserted' places too. Picture perfect!! Thanks Erika
