Expedition
Well, that was somewhat ill-judged. This area burned a few years ago, so it is quite atmospheric and interesting to see the regrowth. Thus I justified the drive up to Lake Mountain on the basis of exploring a new area on my bike once I got there. Turns out that the loop on the map doesn't exist anymore, so it ended up being an out and back along a really rough, rocky, grassy track with odd muddy bits and fallen trees across the road. 75 m off the road turned out to be a big deal in the dense regrowth, groveling up the mountain side along slippery fallen trees. Getting back down was easier, using the cowboy slide technique - I'll leave that to your imagination. At least there were no leeches! Luckily there was some excellent old abandoned steampunk machinery to inspect on the way back and a fine sunset.
