Today is a lazy day as we've hiked a lot this week.  But, we still want to enjoy something pure and beautiful.  We scout the shoreline for a few rocks that will make a good picnic table and seats.  Maybe a spot for our pup to lay down and chew on a stick.  On the stony beach we enjoy a spread of bacon bread, cheese, crackers, and chocolate.  The fish jump as we enjoy our food.  Healing nature is possible.

Over 100 homes and 5 hotels use to ring Hemlock Lake connected by 5 large ships.  The pollution began to poison the waters.  In 1852, the City of Rochester began to process of improving water quality after contamination lead to a massive disease outbreak.  Over 5,000 acres were purchased and all buildings demolished to improve the water's purity.  Today, it's the prime example of how to live with these sacred lakes.
