They told me after having surgery I shouldn't do "anything athletic" for 1-2 weeks afterwards.  So, of course, three days later I went on a four mile hike.  Funnily enough, it wasn't until halfway through the hike that I considered that it might be considered athetic.

Rick's daughter Carrie visited us for the day, so we decided to go to Rattlesnake Ledge.  We thought it would be a nice short hike, since we didn't get started until mid-afternoon.

The view from the bottom, and of Rattlesnake Lake.

The hike was steeper than we expected (I don't know why, considering it did say the altitude change was over 1000 feet), but halfway up, it looked like it would be worth it.

The ascent took us just over an hour, and the view was definitely worth it.

Carrie enjoyed the view.

Of course, Tesla and Diablo got their reward as well.
