Yes..back to our camping adventures.........................
We took Nick with us over Presidents day week-end for 3 days at Pinnacles National Park, weather promised 70 degree days and 45 degree nights, we were blessed with the warm days, but the first night the temperature dropped to 29...oh my!!
Well to say..I froze, I do not care if you are 15 and headed to the truck with the sleeping bag he had and mine(lol)..I needed to sit by the campfire where I melted my shoes trying to get warm. That morning we decided we would not try another night!
As we were leaving I refused to give up the hike we came for, Thank goodness my husband supports me! As we were at the trail head after my walk to the bathroom, both Nick and Les comforted me with the thought of home and a warm bed. So very tempting, my body hurt form trying to keep cuddling up to Les one side after another, but we had come all this way....so up the trail we went!!!
We went through the Talus caves..Nick came running back with excitement we could go further then the last time we had come..all the way to to the lake! Up through the caves we went................
the Hike was what we came for and i am so happy we did it, now I know I and Les want to do the Rim hike, it will take your breath away!!
In March it was Kane's turn to a friend and go camping, the weather was so unsettled we decided at the last minute and we took the trailer to the local lake with the campground and playground. It was too short notice for him to ask a friend and he was so bummed- out..but on we went. Lowe and behold we found a spot right at the play ground with a double family(cousins) camping below us...they between them had 4 boys Kane's age!
When Kane awake Sunday morning he shared how sorry he was was his Brothers were missing "all the fun"". Les and I never felt so relaxed..we never left the campground and Kane was so sorry to go home!!
That brings us to this coming week-end..we are going backpacking at Point Reyes National Seashore with Nick and a Friend?...the back packing trips are my favorite and Nick is the only one of our Grandsons who loves the rush of putting your body to the max..I am praying for good weather and please anyone who reads this do so also!!! Happy Hiking all and bond with your family....................................................................
On into the future we go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Grandma D.
