I am a natural klutz -- so much so that when my caching pals Periwinkle128 saw this patch in a cache, they thought of me. But still, as I was placing a group of caches around McKay Lake I suffered an inordinate number of flesh wounds. Placing this cache drew blood! I don't know how, but as I was leaving GZ I noticed that I was bleeding. I'm excited to share this injury with my anatomy students as we learn forearm muscle anatomy! 

The Pronator quadratus is a muscle that is near the lower part of the forearm. Its function is to rotate the forearm so that the palm of the hand is facing downward. It is considered a deep muscle and is a quadrangle shape.

McKay Lake Trail is a 1.6 mile flat, concrete & crushed gravel loop trail where you are treated to ancient, towering cottonwood and willow trees along the south side of the small lake and uninterrupted views of the mountains to the west.

Brought the little one out here today for a school assignment to create a video where she talks about three different plants. I remembered the cat tails and other plants we saw at the edge of the water from our last visit. She rode her bike while I jogged. Wow, that kid is speedy! We made it most of the way around the lake before I got a call from work and turns out we only did one loop instead of two. But one was all we needed to stop by and sign the log. Thanks for the smiley!

Out for a run today and thought I’d try for the new placements. Couldn’t spot this one today but since this is one of my favorite spots to walk I’ll try again some day!
