Hiking with the Wife

Jacqueline and I finally found some time again to get out on the trail together. I left the hiking decision up to her and she wanted to hike the Eagle's Crags. We parked at the bottom of the hill because that road is washed out so often and thus added an extra hour to the hike. No big deal though, as it was a beautiful day and I had some great company. I forget how nice this trail is until I get to hike it again as there are little or no people on it usually, yet it is not overgrown. The flowers were out today and Jacqueline made sure to get some shots. The plan was to hike up to the top of the Eagle's Crags as the trail lead us up most of the way, but we always wanted to go farther. The problem was by the time we got up high, some weather was moving in and the wind was blowing hard. We were not in the mood to take any unnecessary risks, so we decided to just call the hike good where the trail ended. We continued down the trail as we enjoyed the flowers and ran into the only other group of people heading up. It was a short fun hike, but on this day it was all about the company.
