Nice morning - 70 and sunny. This is a fairly long drive but I wanted someplace we hadn't been in awhile to stimulate Kelley who likes them along with new places.
The trail starts through the woods and is basically flat for a good distance but once you start climbing it's up the rest of the way.
A little bit of water
Out of the trees as we get closer to the top
An interesting wildflower
and ripe blueberries
View from spot where we stopped for an apple break.
The trail near the top was harder for Kelley than I remembered. she is doing OK here but there were spots she had to find work arounds
A couple of views from the top
Kelley and I were both tired
View as we start down
Kelley found a little more water on the way down
A pretty good hike, though more arduous than planned. A few mosquitoes and only a couple of deer flies. On the way down Kelley was tiring and no longer running ahead and she drank the water I carry for her - usually she is not interested. Tomorrow rain is forecast so we will have an easy day. 3 hours
That lily is sure a "hot" color. Nice!
ReplyDeleteAnd ripe blueberries--an added bonus. The views are so nice--I'll bet that's a nice picnic spot (minus the bugs!)
Have a good weekend, John
