Why on earth am I posting this 3 years later?
I have felt guilty for not posting it when all of you were so wonderful in recommending the location of our trip.
However, was too painful to look at these pictures and even now, 3 years later, this was a very melancholy chore. It ended up being my Sunshine's last backpack. Even though she is under my desk right now, I miss her terribly every time my boots hit dirt. I miss who she had been, every day at home. Shortly after this trip, she had been stricken with epilepsy.
My Jasmine Rose had been only 7 months old and we needed a reasonably easy trip, however, all of the snow had come in March that year and creeks were all running high. This is a great beginners trip so it may give ideas to those looking for something easier. There were SO MANY creek crossings, it was great for puppy Jasmine Rose to learn about them. I switched shoes and waded through them with her. My, then, athletic Sunshine skipped over the stones without even getting her toes wet.
The flowers were abundant and the colors of the granite amazing. It was also the last summer we had, before summer turned into fire season. Another extremely sad reality for me. I miss summer. I miss my Sunshine.
I will let the pictures tell the rest of the story.
