Biking & Hiking

Sam finally had a free Saturday so we made the most of it and headed south on Thursday for a long weekend.  We hung out with Sam’s family and spent the rest of the time enjoying the epic spring weather. 
We went on one of our favorite bike rides around Sam’s hometown.  I had a little accident, but it was definitely worth it.  


Saturday we spent all day hiking to and from Choal Falls.  Not very many people know about this place -- we didn’t run into a single person the entire day.  We only snapped a few photos on our way to the falls, but we used up the rest of our camera’s memory card when we got there.  Here’s just a few. 




The stream was ideal for wading in and the perfectly smooth sand massaged our tired feet.  The water just under the falls was barely deep enough for swimming, but the water was a little chilly for that.  



This little guy is about the closest thing to a human we saw the entire hike.

We also saw this nifty little house some little creature built.  Hole was about the diameter of a  pinky.



It was about 75-80 degrees on Saturday, but the next day the wind picked up as we were getting ready to leave and a couple hours into our drive home we hit this.

Thankfully we didn’t hit that gorgeous late 60’s model Camero in front of us.  Drool.
