It has been quite some time since we have taken a day to go to the mountain and boy, was it worth it. We really wanted to see the fall colors. Little Quincey absolutely loves being outdoors and, this was the first time hiking with her that she did some of her own hiking. In fact, if she has to be in the hiking pack for too long, she gets cranky. She used to love it and see it as such a novelty but now, she wants to be independent and hike just like us. The problem is that she stops for every pine cone and rock she sees so, we don't make much progress.
We have been to the McCauley Hot Springs site numerous times but never actually gotten to the hot springs. We finally made it up there. Quincey loved getting in the water. It was only luke warm. She just stood there though and didn't quite know what to do with all the weeds and mud under her feet.
But, she did not like having to get out of the water and get in dry clothes. There were lots of tears.
We had an amazing time. Such a beautiful hike and wonderful mountains. It was refreshing to all of our souls.
