THE HIKE:
Shawnee as well as I hiked the white trail on 1/9/12.  So dorsum nosotros went to hike all of the trails.
The white trail starts to the correct of the parking lot entrance as well as service road.
A sentiment of Canty's Lake.
The yellowish trail goes left at a bench as well as kiosk but I decided to rest amongst white to the other terminate of yellowish hence I could accept yellowish dorsum to this betoken as well as determine if I wanted to become dorsum on white or retrace on yellow.
And correct at that intersection, balloon #56 of the year.
Continuing on white.
The Cave Tunnel
It's a lilliputian tight inwards in that place hence nosotros went around.
A white-breasted nuthatch overhead.
Views from the white trail.
We turned left at the other terminate of yellow.
Where white was real rugged amongst to a greater extent than or less upwardly as well as downward scrambles, yellowish was to a greater extent than rolling hills.
Uphill to ...
... the terminate of yellowish at the white trail where nosotros were before.  My pinched nervus was actually acting upwardly hence I decided to retrace on the easier yellowish trail rather than accept the white trail again. 
Heading back.
Back at the other terminate of yellow, left to conk on on white.

At the terminate of white, nosotros went correct a curt distance to ...
... the novel dam amongst ...
... a sentiment of Canty's Lake.
Just 1 mallard duck inwards Canty's Lake.
Heading dorsum the other agency (would get got been a left coming off of white) along a cove hence ...
... across a ball champaign to red.
Red is a broad gravel path.
A side trail goes upwardly to ...
... what used to endure a sentiment but is no more.
Going dorsum to conk on on red.
At the parking lot, left through a picnic expanse to ...
blue, which is also a broad gravel path.
Overlook at the terminate of blue.
Heading dorsum on blue.
Straight through the picnic expanse as well as parking lot as well as but a curt distance to ...
... the lot where nosotros parked.
Just equally nosotros got to the motorcar I heard a siren as well as "HO HO HO" as well as turned to meet Santa on overstep of a burn downward truck!  But I didn't larn a real skillful picture. That Santa is equally good fast.
