Hey Boo Boo?...where d'ya put the pic a nic basket? Could we have asked for better conditions for this hike? No bugs! No rain! No rangers at the hot springs! Yahoo! The kids did great; they really learned to push past some challenging moments. Let's hear it for Mariah, I mean the girl hurled her guts out and still hiked out 10 miles carrying her own pack. And I think Tylar shocked us all, that girls a trooper
The time of year was ideal. The river was lower and easier for the kids to cross. It also helped to regulate the temp of the pools (not too many cold swirls). You could sit and soak without getting eaten by deer flies and mosquitoes. Not to mention there was not a single other group to fight with over the best pools.
I can't wait for next year! I bet Denise already has our campsites reserved :)
