Hike to Fish --- Fan Creek

So, many of our "regular" reader have over time noted that we like to "hike to fish".  This day we hiked out to Fan Creek, a spot that we initially did years ago..... a time that we had to rush out because there was a forest fire approaching.

The hike is relatively flat, about 3 miles and it accesses a pretty nice meadow.
