So, this is the sort of thing that happens when Mara is here. She wants to go hiking. I’m not sure but I want the chance to get out with her and NOT work!
I agree. It is raining all day but we go anyway.
We hiked Eaton Mountain. This is not far from home but there are no real trails. We really bushwhacked our way through.
We started the hike up the old ski lift line. This was the first view back to the base station of the lift.
This is the view looking up the hill. Notice how overgrown this area is!
This is a LOT of what we walked through, though we did hike into the woods when it made sense. The woods were a lot more clear due to the canopy.
Waist deep in ferns!
At the top of the mountain, Mara got to get on the ski lift!
There were a couple cell towers at the top and we took a round-about way to get back down. Got a little lost (not really, because we had GPS) but we made it back.
We started at building A, walked up the D line and then came back down (approximately) following the #1 trail.
We were soaked. We arrived at home 5 minutes before dinner time! Perfect timing!
