This past weekend was the first opportunity we’ve had this year to go camping and hiking and the weather couldn’t have been more perfect.    I’d been anticipating getting out in the wilderness for a while and about a month ago I’d ordered some camping and hiking gear to have on hand when we decided to go.   It seemed like for a while there it was raining every weekend and I was starting to think that we’d never get back up on the ridge, but we finally got our break.

We left bright and early Saturday morning with all of our camping and hiking gear in tow and headed south.    I could definitely tell on the hike that it had been a while since we’d been camping and hiking because my legs were definitely feeling the burn, but once we got up on the ridge, it was all worth the effort.   It looked as though no one had been up there since last fall, and it was gorgeous.  I took a few pictures before we set up our tent and got the fire going.   It was a great weekend and I’m looking forward to more.
