Adventures in the Wilderness

Jeremiah and I decided to take a hike on Monday and we were hoping to go to a place called Jordan Peak Lookout. We followed directions from Jer's Iphone up the mountain, curving around bend after bend, turning down strange and narrow unmarked roads..I was driving and Jer was in the back with the dogs...Clara got CAR SICK and lost control of her bladder... (!!!) (thank goodness for leather seats).... Sandy slid all over the back seat...and 3 hours later, we see a sign that says Jordan Peak - 8 miles - and we looked at the roller coaster road in front of us (8 miles on the mountain can take an HOUR!) ...and we turned our car around!

We decided to stop by Camp Nelson (on the way down) and the plan now was to hike one of their trails...but we had to first say hello to our friend Nancy who lives there - and hello turned into another couple of hours :) ... and eventually we decided it was best to head home...so much for the hike!

Well, our Prius did quite well...mountain roads and we still got over 40 miles to the gallon! No hike, but definitely a beautiful day in the wilderness!
