used this lovely Sunday morning to get out there, shoot some arrows, explore and enjoy nature in full bloom.
Thers an old lake i used to hike around with my dad in days gone past and i wanted to see how it looked like nowadays. 10 years ago there were some well used hiking-trails around it, but as people in general seem to loose interest in wilder places around here i was completely by myself. Apart from the normal signs of logging there wasnt any sign of other people around, wich is very special for my part of the world (except for one, well come to that later...).
Anyways, enough boring words here are some pics to let you come along if you like:

Well, nowadays it seems you just have to look close enough and youll find s**t anywhere you look (or a diaper in this case):
The knife and sheath i made myself this winter:
I then decided to follow the little stream that goes into the lake upwards...
