Labor Day




For Labor day Levi and I wanted to go hiking, we wanted to hike crouching lion. It was just the two of us and Levi looked up the hike online. We got there and finally found where to start...there are multiple trails that lead up and down this mountain. We didn't know where to start. haha kinda funny. Thanks Lindsey & Cameron! A side not...we read that this was a dangerous hike but we didn't realize it until we were literally climbing at some parts up the "trail". The trail we went up went seriously straight up it was CRAZY! I don't understand why anyone else never told us this.....well except the Rondos they told us this before we went up. We don't think very many people go up the side we went up. It was soo scary!! I was almost in tears at one point because I wasn't sure how we were going to get down, because the trail was so steep and narrow. And we were barely starting the hike!

By the way it may not look very high up but it was. We got to the first stopping point, and decided we shouldn't go any further since it was only the 2 of us. If there were more people with us and people who have gone on this hike before...no problem but anything could have happened and it would have only gotten more dangerous. Were daring but not stupid. We found a "trail" down, more like animal trail. It was barely anything and disappeared a lot and we had to look around for a way down. So we were sliding everywhere, grabbing onto anything to help us keep from falling because some parts were steep. We both slipped and thanks to tree branches we just hung instead of falling, it was funny! The adventure down was crazy also but really fun. We feel like pansies since we didn't finish it but we really didn't have any clue what trail to take and didn't want to risk anything. When we got home we kept laughing at what we just did because it was nuts!
Here is some of the trail going up HA!

Those mountains are BEAUTIFUL!!!! Definitely not Washington Mountains! And I wasn't implying these mountains are better.

We finished out the day at the beach then we went to the Rondo's BBQ which was Delicious!!! School has officially started...as of last week HA I am a little behind, along with everyone else. School is going good, Levi now works for open gym. Check this out... He gets paid to manage open gym night for basketball....AND he can play basketball at the same time... Who has these kind of jobs!!! He basically considers himself an NBA player! ha ha just kidding he doesn't, he does kid about it though ha he is cute. Anyways he has his dream job and it's definitely more consistent hours than catering, but he will miss the people there of course! Last night was his official first night.

Crouching Lion for now is To Be Continued...........

alfredo and i went with a group of friends to this same hike on labor day!! i'm surprised we didn't see you guys there...what time did you go?

once i catch up on my posting, i will post our pictures from the hike too. it sure was pretty but really freaky! i almost cried in some parts too...the rock climbing was intense! and i was so sore after that i could barely walk for a few days. and i'm not surprised you didn't find a trail, it's not really a trail at all. more like a dirt path of death.
