Now, from the bottom looking up!

We decided to fit in a nice long mommy/daughters hike up our valley yesterday to have some quality together time since Dea leaves for Europe TOMORROW(!!!). It was a hazy but bright warm day with a welcome breeze. It was Lo's longest hike yet. 8 miles out to "table rock-the table of the GODS!" A huge flat rock perfect for having your lunch, taking a siesta, playing, or all of the above. The complaints were minimal and totally expected for such a long day of it, but Lo held up like a trooper and we all had lots of fun exploring on our adventure.

Here is a photo taken from the big pond looking back at Harp mountain and it's 3 "humps" leading to the top:


And here's a photo of last week's Celtic Harp hike and the view up our valley. You can see several ponds and 2 lakes at the end:






Finally! Heading in to our goal-Table Rock




Blueberry blossoms, cinquifoil, Lichen heart, spruce needles, Labrador tea(yum!):




Heading back down the valley toward home and well deserved burgers and Mac!

Breathtaking! What's the elevation at your house? Of those mountains? I can almost feel the air on my skin....
