RE: Showers Lake Backpacking Trip

in #photography4 years ago

Wish I could go and hike this trail right now. Since I am unable to do so in real life I decided to travel there virtually in a new flight simulator.

Round lake from above. Lake Tahoe seen in the right corner.

Showers lake was under snow for me.

Haha! Nice to see the hike from above! That's a pretty cool flight simulator. Looks fun. I might be heading out on another hike this weekend but the fires and temporary regulations around here might cancel the trip... Cheers!

Yep, it really is!
Well, I hope you can go on this hike good luck!

Oops, I forgot to reply. Nope, the hike was canceled. The forest and all the trails are currently "closed" due to extreme fire danger. You can get a $5,000 fine if they catch you out on the trails...

No worries!
Yeah, I have heard about the massive fires going on in this area. Smoke is expected to arrive in Estonia next week. This is some serous fine they are charging for going on a hike. Well, winter is coming and wildfires are hopefully dying out soon enough.

Oh wow, is that our smoke?
Yeah, just got back from walking the dog. Stuck to the streets, no trails. That would be one expense dog walk... The weather is getting cooler and we had a sprinkle of rain this morning. Hopefully we'll get a real rainstorm soon. Cheers!

Yes, this is your smoke, arriving to northern Europe, kinda crazy.
Its pretty rainy here. Hoping you will have rains that will extenguish fires you have there.
