It's been blissfully sunny and nice the last few days. Or maybe it just seems that way after returning from sunny and warm Utah. and surviving a week or so of rainy, gray and cold weather upon our return which means being cooped up indoors. :(
So the past few days, we've been making the most of the nice weather and have been out hiking. Mat was able to get off of work a bit early yesterday and we went out to Whetstone Gulf State Park.
Of course it was raining when we arrived because Mat asked me if I wanted to turn back around to get my raincoat when we were only 2 minutes from the house. I said no. Anyway, we did end up getting out of the car. We hiked out to a lookout point on the South Trail and it drizzled off and on. Don't tell anyone...but we did venture out at 4 p.m. even though the signs did mention something about not starting on the trail after 3 p.m. Which was a topic of discussion with us for some time. Why? In the summers it is light until almost 10 p.m. That's a lot of hiking hours it is cutting into.
Anyway, Gabriella was a fantastic little hiker. We just hiked up to a lookout point starting on the south trail and it was probably about 2 miles roundtrip. Brie hiked about 1.5 miles of it on her own and some of it was pretty steep. The most elevation we've seen out here other than in the Adirondacks. It was a pretty hike even though it was drizzling on us and the pictures don't do it justice.
