The trip to Vikingsholm

Our hike today was to the bottom of Eagle Falls, and the mansion on the shore of Emerald Bay.  It's one mile from top to bottom, and about five times that far coming up!  ( At least it seemed that way!)
The tiny "castle" on Fannette Island was actually a stone tea house built in the 1920's.  This is a view of the island from the path to Vikingsholm. 
Sadly, there was no water at Eagle Falls, except for one or two tiny trickles.  The drought has hit this area hard!!
The extra shot is a self-portrait of the intrepid hikers in the windows of the mansion.
