Yesterday Eric got back from his overnight trip where he went with a friend to Desolation Wilderness. It doesn't sound as beautiful as it looked. They hiked ten miles and ended up catching ten fish in eight lakes.
It sounded like they acted as local guides since people kept asking them where they were and how to get places. Apparently, the guys saw some interesting people including some "hikers" in sandals and carring a hot pink bag of water bottles. Then there were those wearing kilts. (Eric and Mark were carrying full packs with boots and zipper pants just to give a comparison. No kilts involved!) Just before getting to the cars a woman was starting up the trail with her stroller. Needless to say the guys suggested a backpack carrier.
I got to spend time with Annmarie and her girls and we all had a lovely time. We had fun swimming, playing treasure hunt, eating yummy berries and just getting to have a good long chat! The girls and guys didn't get much sleep, but I have to say that both were out of necessity. The guys because Mark was missing a bed roll and the girls because we just had to get in a good talk. :-) We were glad to spend time doing things we all enjoyed and then coming together to share our stories. It was wonderful for all of us.

A wonderful visit indeed, good friend! We thank you, and thank you!!! The picture where they slept (attempted sleep) IS quite tranquil and inviting looking, isn't it?! :) Well... 2 yrs., and then we'll have to tag along for the ride! ;-) I am so grateful for our time together, and the chats and long talks out of 'necessity', not to mention black and white tops, red chunky necklaces, little beds, and a host of 100 more things that all blessed my heart! Thank You!!!
