Still catching up - here's another incredible trip! We went backpacking with two of our friends Amanda and Noah. It started a little rocky as always with a long ride in the car - I hate car trips. This one was especially bad because at the end there was about 9 miles on a bumpy dirt road. I was in the back seat with mom and Amanda and I was so nervous I kept standing on them and going back and forth between each side of the car. Eventually mom got tired of it and restrained me in her lap for the rest of the trip.
The trail was beautiful! It was right along the river the whole time with lots of great views. We didn't hike in very far only about 2 miles but then we got to play at the camp site. I tried to remember to check in mom and dad but mostly I just explored. I crossed the river several times which was a little scary. One time I even got stuck in it for a while before I was able to swim over to the shore. The people finally went swimming as well although by that time I was pretty tired and content to just nap by the shore.

The next day we took a side trip to see a really pretty waterfall and then hiked back out. I ran around a bunch and by the time we got to the car I was exhausted. My GPS thing ran out of batteries so I only have the route for part of the first day.
