My daughter, Munchkin, had a holiday from school. She agreed to join me on a dayhike to Round Top Lake. It was a great day! Our hike was pretty short and fast, as we had to be back home by 6:00 pm, for a volleyball game. We got the hike in, and made it to the game on time.

The pictures tell the story. I took most of them, but Munchkin also took quite a few. We used our Olympus digital camera and our Samsung automatic 35mm. Sadly, the Samsung seems to be on it's last legs, so we will soon be on the market for another 35mm model.

This trip report also includes a trip map (500K!). Altogether, we walked about 5 miles, with about 1200 feet of elevation gain.
