It was warm, but had it been cold, we, or, at least, I should have drank heartily of the waters because I liked them.

They are really delicious, and thousands have testified to their healthfulness.
We saw the station of the water company, where a man remains through the year to register the river's flow and the snowfall.

Then we passed a large lily lake to the left,--a once bold glacial lake now rapidly nearing the filled-up stage ere it becomes a mountain meadow--and were fairly on the Georgetown grade, the sixty mile road that reaches from McKinney's to Georgetown.

It is a stern road, that would make the "rocky road to Dublin" look like a "flowery bed of ease," though we followed it only a mile and a half to leave it for the steep trail that reaches Rock Bound Lake.

This is one of the larger of the small glacial lakes of the Tahoe Region, and is near enough to Rubicon Springs to be reached easily on foot.
From a knoll close by one gains an excellent panorama of Dick's, Jack's and Ralston's Peaks.
