We think spring is here; one can only hope. Once cabin fever has reached life-threatening levels, the only cure is a walk in the woods. We found Pactola Lake about 15 miles from Rapid City, tucked away among the Black Hills. The Centenial Trail borders the eastern side of the lake and we stumbled into after going for a walk down an old road leading to the lake. It was a wonderful 3 mile walk, a miniscule stretch of the 111 mile length of the trail. Sometimes a small dose is all it takes to kill that awful fever.
Old rusty sign, probably along what once was a horse trail
Strong Ponderosa roots split slate rock in order to survive
A walk in the woods as the treatment for cabin fever: effective. Walking in the woods with this gorgeous lady: priceless

Cool couple!

Great pictures! Sounds like a fantastic way to end the weekend. :) Most people seem to be experiencing an extreme sense of spring fever this year... I'm sure Gidget would LOVE to join you on a walk around Lake Pactola - throw a few sticks in the water for her to fetch & she'll be entertained for hours on end.
