Sunday Part #2

It was too good of a day to waste, so after lunch we went over to the Cathance for a hike.

We started with an 8-year old's meltdown, progressed to a low river crossing to do some off-trail exploration, found some interesting finds, including an old road, a algae filled quarry with a clear animal (probably beaver) path to and fro, did some more rock crossing, found some dead stuff in the river (deer), explored further down river, found some good beaver markings on downed trees, and ended up with some on-trail selfie shenanigans and got the kiddo to exclaim, "this is fun."

In the end, it was all good and we got in a lovely 2.4 miles out in the woods. I'm calling it a win 💗

Do you see the animal (probably beaver) path down the bank and into the pond through the algae? It was pretty neat in person!

Beaver activity!

Lots of teeth marks!

So cool

Happiness is time spent in the woods with these two 💕
