First Hike Of The Season!


The Garland's head off on their first hike for 2011. And what a fabulous hike it was.
There was lots of exploring of small things...

Crossing of puddles, streams, and rushing rivers, (as Simon said). Truly we must have crossed over at least 15 streams of varying size, and occaisionally just walked along the trail which had turned into a stream.

And there was exploring of large things. The giant gaping black hole in the rock beyond Simon is an old abandoned iron mine. Very cool to investigate. The hike was a 3.5 mile loop and Simon was a stellar hiker- we even made it up a small mountain too. This summer family hikes are going to be a serious highlight! Mount Battie, here we come!
