Cassidy, Cari and I said good bye to summer with one last trip. We met up with Mom and Dad and Benell and Ilene T. in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest on Mt. Adams. Three days of riding and family before back to work was wonderful. This was our view from camp...not to shabby huh?

Here is the crew on day one getting ready to ride. Mom, Cassidy and Ilene stayed in camp while we explored some back country. It was beautiful with views of Adams and Rainer, high meadows in bloom and cascading waterfalls.


The second day we took a shorter ride in the morning so Cass could join us. She started off with me on Tucker but ended up with Dad on Belle...I think I might have to give up on keeping her away from mules. On the way back, with a full belly of huckleberries, Cassidy fell asleep, leaving Dad to tend the snack cup and sippy....If only the old river boys could see him now!


The whole crew

Yummmm...
I gave up trying to put a caption on this picture...
We had lots of trips to the meadow in the evenings to see the mountain and the moon

Where's Cassidy?

There she is!


Mornings were a little chilly so while we drank our coffee Cassidy got warm milk. She and Benell became good buddies.

Always busy...

Like most of our trips, we definitely didn't go hungry. Cassidy especailly liked the ribs!

Day 3 brought some low clouds but we got a good ride in before heading home. Another great trip and special memories with Grandpa..

And Grandma.
