Backpacking... kinda

Kevin, my dad, and brother bought new backpacking materials and were all excited to try them out. However, they didn't want the first time they used their water purifiers etc. to be on a week long backpacking trip so they planned a trial run this weekend. Friday afternoon we ( I happened to escape the hospital and tag along too) went up Willard Creek to a couple of fun waterfalls. It was a bit more of an adventure than we planned as the creek was flowing at a good rate. There were some exciting river crossings and plenty of hot chocolate.

All in all, it was lots of fun and my legs aren't nearly as sore today as I was secretly hoping they would be.
