First Hike of the New Year ! 1-16-2010

Finally the temperatures have risen enough to get out on my first adventure of the new decade. I decided to lead an adventure to Dick Creek Falls from the Rock Creek side, along with my son Tyler and good friend Bol’Dar. As usual, we got a late start so we did not leave Hairnt-quarters until around noon. Snow was still visible on the mountains as we drove to Erwin and we hiked on it from the gate where we parked, all the way to the falls and back. It was not deep enough to be cumbersome, except for the ‘shortcut‘ we took on the way back where it was a bit deeper, but we decided we needed some extra adventure anyway! The swimming area in the park was still somewhat frozen.
