Opal Creek

A random shot of Ari...she LOVES the elusive baby in the mirror. She found her in her snail mirror. I caught her chatting with her and kissing her, too cute!
We took a hike to Opal Creek. This place is INCREDIBLE!!

Beginning our 7 mile hike...

I'm not a fan of how this hoodie makes me look here.

Thanks to a fellow hiker for taking this. Unfortunately, little Ari is lost behind daddy.

This area was used for mining, a 2 year attempt at logging and I believe a mill. Some old equipment from the 30's can be spotted along the hike.

The little town. Totally self supporting; supplies it's own power by tapping into the creek and a few solar panels, has compost toilets and supplies it's own wood and water.

Jared + fish!

The hike was amazing! At the end of the hike, our legs ached, feet were sore, but wow...it was gorgeous in every aspect. I cannot wait to go back!

A new milestone: Arilyn has tooth #2!
