Mini Excursion

I love those plans that pop-up last minute and end up being so refreshing you go to bed exhausted and smiling at what a great day you had. We headed to the Wildflower Cafe and Desoto Falls with our good friends Keith and Kristin. Lucy soaked up every minute. Well, except for the falls. That, she slept through.

I always reminisce on my backpacking adventures, but there are times when those memories rise up so strong inside me that if I don't get back out there I feel I may bust. Even more so now that I have Lucy. We already have a hardcore trail carrier and she'll be ready for it this fall. Until then, I will continue to enjoy our mini excursions.

As me ol' pal John Muir has said, "The Mountains are calling and I must go."
