There was plenty of parking available at Lake George, since we didn't
arrive until almost 5pm. Earlier in the day I know it's very hard to
find parking (when we'd arrived on a previous hike, we had to park on the
side of the road).
It was a bit windy, but clear and comfortable as we started the hike.
After walking southeast along the Lake George shore, we started
climbing steadily but briefly up toward Lake Barrett. For some
reason this hike was even easier than I remember it, from the time we
did it 8 years ago. Maybe that's because, at the time, I was carrying
a 2-year-old Nathan on my back.
Looking back at Lake George
I knew from experience that Lake Barrett wasn't much to look at, so we
skipped right by it and soon found ourselves at TJ Lake. The late
afternoon light didn't show the lake in a great light (morning is probably
better), so I didn't take many pictures. We did have a spirited
rock-skipping contest, though. Nathan and I have been competing, 5 rounds,
and we agree on who wins each round. This time, I decided it would be fun
to turn the competition on its head and pick the worst rocks possible
for each other. We had some clunkers, but we also managed to skip some
rocks you wouldn't think were skippable.

After we had our little fun, we turned around and made the short trip back
to the parking lot.
