Well, Hello Nature!

As promised, I have proof that I went for a real gosh darn hike!

But first, here’s a few additional non-hiking photos from our weekend in the country . . .

Here I am, enjoying a lovely Malbec in their beautiful screened-in porch:

A view of their backyard (the forest) and neighbor’s house:

Waiting to have brunch at Martin’s, before the hike!:

On the way to our hiking destination (Bash Bish Falls), Kurt and Chapin spend some quality time together:

and now, some hiking photos!

Not the best shot in the world, but gives you an idea of where we were going!

We reach the falls, where Kurt and Amanda find a comfy rock to enjoy the view:

Then Amanda convinces me that I need to find a comfy rock, too.  Yikes, ok!

Jenn and Amanda, victorious!

Here’s me

I love this shot of the gorgeous blue sky:

and all the beautiful trees surrounding us:

So there you have it, folks.  It was rugged, rocky and steep at times, and I did it!  Geez, have you ever heard of someone be so very proud of themselves?  Amazingly, I didn’t injure myself, but I did have 3 pretty nasty bug bites, including one next to my eye!  Mosquitoes beware – I’m coming for you!

I leave you with our best photo ever:
