My Turn…Finally!

I went on my first backpacking overnighter.  I’ve watched my boys and husband leave on many weekend and week long camping and backpacking trips with scouts.

This time it was my turn.  I got to go with the Sophomore age girls from church.

It was mostly uphill, and a challenge, but lots of fun!

We saw a bit of poison oak, and tried to steer clear!

We loved seeing this stuff!  It’s edible…called miner’s lettuce and it was tasty!lettuce

Downhill on the way home proved to have it’s own challenges.

That looks like so much fun. I have never gone hiking or backpacking like that before. Maybe someday I will.
In the last photo, I was wondering if you were in it, and if you were, are you jumping?
