Max started the hike full of complaints of being too tired to walk, but after a bit of sandwich he switched into fun run around mode.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the trail was designated off leash areas for dogs. Many took advantage, with varying amounts of control. Nobody was misbehaving, but our kids don&#8217;t like dogs coming near. I don&#8217;t really, either, but I have a bit more self regulation.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s been rainy for the last few days, so a lot of the path was muddy. For most of it, we could weave our way on higher ground. Max slipped once, but we stayed pretty clean.<\/p>\n<p>We stopped for lunch at a bench overlooking the valley and enjoyed the geologic signage. When we started to loop back, there was a steep paved access road taking us to the valley floor. Then into a more forested section, the Skyline Trail. Following a creek back uphill, we spotted a wrecked car below that looked like it had been there for a while.<\/p>\n<p>The kids were starting to wear out. Anne finally caved and carried Max for the last bit. I reenergized Ruth by racing her up the hill.<\/p>\n<p>All in all, a successful hike. Hiking takes more motivating the kids, since they actually have to move themselves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anne has talked about hiking more often.
