Who: Ben. Melissa. Adam. Megan. Sadie (the hyper-active little yellow lab). Dolly (the deaf Dalmatian)
What: A spur of the moment overnight campout
Where: Greenwater--just about an hour into the mountain heading east
When: beginning of September
Why: 1. Too much work and not enough play= spontaneous "get-out-of-town" trips. All work and no play makes Ben a stir crazy boy. 2. It was beautiful weather. 3. Ben and I didn't have to teach on Sunday, and that is a RARE occasion to be taken advantage of. 4. We were communing with nature.
P.S. Ben and I ended up hiking in the morning. We started the 3 mile hike and just kept walking. We came to a sign that said Echo Lake--4 miles. It sounded like fun... We ended up hiking 17 miles that day. Whoa huh? Let's hear it for the weekend warriors.

Beautiful scenery!! Better catch it before it rains again. Love, Mom
Gorgeous! Cody and I totally want to end up in the northwest and your pictures just help that desire. They are beautiful and good work on a 17 mile hike! That is a LONG way, at least you had nice scenery.
