Two weeks ago, we went for a family hike up Mt. Pisgah, which is a pretty steep trip (for little legs and an out-of-shape mom) up to a nice high spot to look at our surrounding area.
Lucky Nora got a ride most of the way (and made it look like Sean was wearing a cute hat).
Jonah climbed his way up a few rocky areas off on the side. Then we realized that there was poison oak everywhere, and made him stay close to the middle of the trail.
Surveying the countryside…
We made it! It was pretty chilly and overcast at the top, but it was nice to get a look around.
Back at the bottom, we enjoyed a picnic lunch before heading home.
At sixteen, I fought forest fires just south of Eugene, working for the Douglas County Fire Protection Association (DFPA). Until you get above about 2,000 feet, that country is full of poison oak and ivy. Check out a good first aid reference to protect yourselves The skin leisons, if scratched due to itching, can become infected and you don’t want MERSA.
Love,
