Hiking season has started! Our first hike of the year is Yellow Pine Trail off the Mirror Lake Highway.
Paul stopped to take a picture and a butterfly landed on his hand. 🙂
Paul and Eli found snow to throw at each other. One snowball got away!
Trying out Paul’s new GPS. This GPS allows us to send text messages with our location, so if there is ever a problem we can get help and it will send a picture of a map with our exact location. We sent a few test texts to Paul’s father to try it out. This will be a fun tool this summer when we do some backpacking.
A mile up and I gained a 60lb passenger! 🙂 Not too much further, we stopped at a stream and turned around.
Back at the bottom of the trail, we jumped into the truck and drove further up the road so Paul and Eli could do a little fishing.
On the way home we stopped for lunch. This sounds crazy, but we like to stop at the Kamas food town for lunch. We love the cheesy potato bites in the deli. Not too special, but they are fantastic. Eli gets the mac n’ cheese of course. 🙂
It was nice to be back in the mountains, but the drive was a bit much for a day trip. The next time we come out this way, we need to do some camping, backpacking, OR purchase a house closer to the canyon, Ha!!
