Off the Beaten Path

Hello. I spent the morning reading "Shackleton's Stowaway". The kids are still on spring break, so I snuck out to see Part 1 of The Chosen in theaters by myself in prep for Easter. Then I went on a long hike in Bell Canyon, alone... I explored a trail I hadn't been on before. I was a bit nervous cause I was so isolated, prayed I wouldn't get eaten by a mountain lion. Other people had obviously been on this trail, cause I came across a Christmas tree...

I thought that was a good sign that I was close to civilizations. Then I came across some wind chimes, and a hut...

I kept following the trail and I thought it would turn and connect to the Bells trail, but nope... just kept going up and up. It was past time to start home but I was going in the opposite direction. Wondered if I should turn around? But no, I didn't want to go the way I came. I still couldn't find a trail across the creek, so I eventually just took a chance. Huffed it over tree logs, through bushes, and over snow. I was down the hill from the main trail when I saw a hiker going down, yay, I knew I was close... I was glad to finally get on Bells!
