By the time I got lakeside Grace was between massages and was able to join me at Sprouts (again) for another one of their delicious salads. Just look at that thing.
After lunch, while Grace did another massage, I drove over to Emerald Bay State Park which is on the southwest corner of the lake. It was a Saturday afternoon so there were tons of boats in the bay. After finding parking by the road there is a one mile hike down to the water where you find Vikingsholm (A viking style mansion built during the depression by a super rich widow) and several other trail heads.
I bought a tour ticket to see the inside of the place and ended up being the only one on that tour so I got the ranger all to myself. It was rustic looking inside but they put a lot of money into replicating the viking style antiques and architectural techniques.
After a quick hike along the lakeside I took the short hike to Lower Eagle falls which were roaring because there is so much snowmelt this year. I wish I could have gone farther but I was wearing out at this point and knew I had a mile hike uphill to get back to the car. I tried to meet up with Grace and Greg at the Lakeside Casino on my way back but caught them just as they were leaving. I'm glad I decided to stay there without them because I had a delicious dinner there followed by my second big win.
$1,875.00!! On a 100 Times Pay slot machine. I got two purple 7s and a 100x pay symbol. Now I just need to manage to hold onto it!
