The idea for this hiking trip started with two of us from the larkspur pool pals group. We both like to hike but hadn’t been doing much lately and what better way to get started again than to do it with friends. By Sunday we were up to four members of the pool pals group. I had decided to would be a good trip to bring the Troll family and 3 of their pet lizards.
It would slow me down and I could enjoy the hiking trip with friends. So away we go.
It was a beautiful Sunday morning and the four of us started out at an easy pace. we chose the trail that goes from Camp Sherman South towards Black Butte and the headwaters of the Metolius
Our first sign that it would be an enjoyable trip was the pinecone heart on the lawn
and the bright red vine maple leaves
The views were incredible
The ideas were flowing on where to photograph the Troll family.
We rested when needed
Watched the horse riders ford the river
and then we continued on at a nice comfortable pace.
At this bridge we turned around and started back to Camp Sherman and the promise of lunch.
what I really like about going back the way we came is everything looks different. The time of day, the sun is in a different location, something that was behind you is now in front of you.
Soon you are back where you started. Ready for lunch at the Camp Sherman store. An enjoyable day with good friends. And now it is time for a little nap
Let’s Do this again Gals..
