More Hiking



More hiking this weekend. I dragged my Mom,nephew and children up yet another mountain this weekend. I haven't been on this one in like 10 years so I forgot how steep parts of it were. The trail was very wet and slippery and in some spots nearly vertical, not really but to a seven year old girl(and their Grandmother) it must have been pretty scary. We turned back about a half a mile from the summit, at the bottom of a particularly steep section with water running down it. To me it was a total success because the girls pushed themselves out of their comfort zone and had a good time doing it. Mostly because they were following the lead of their ten year old cousin, D.O.M. junior, who sprinted up the steep sections laughing all the way.
