Far from the roadside

Riding to our location in the back of a pickup truck and then hiking down a treacherous trail to our picnic site meant that we had complete privacy far from the fumes of traffic. Unfortunately, by the time we reached the site, everyone was a little tired, hot, and in some cases irritable (see below).
However, there isn't much a nice swim in a mountain stream can't fix. Everyone just swam in T-shirts and shorts... but as Sarah, Lesley and I didn't have shorts, we swam in our pajamas. (Photo by Lesley on Sarah's camera).

The two photos below are scenes from our picnic spot.


And finally, we have one of Lesley's favorite pictures taken on the hike back to the car.
