Woke up to rain and high 40’s temps, so we took it slow (I really can’t imagine we could be taking it any slower but we die) and after breakfast it seemed to be clearing. Since hiking in the rain … Continue reading →

Eating Soup in June
Clouds. Everywhere. Clouds. Breakfast in this place was lovely and a treat. I loved my scrambled egg! We drove a short way (like 10 min. max) to a place where we could catch a very short, simple trail. And … Continue reading →
