We drive Hwy 26 OFTEN!!!! We always drive by the sign for Saddle Mountain.
Well we did it today.
We took that LoNg, WiNdY, bUmPy road 7 miles up.
To
Saddle Mountain
the kids and I
with our friends
the Peiffers arrived to take on the Mountain.
This was a side trail to see Humbug Mt. view area (.2 miles) OK who's Idea was this? Take a look at the stairs nature created for us. Thank goodness Man put in a rope or we would have never made.
The Ball Family at the Top
OK Not really.......
This was about a quarter of the way MAYBE.
Great view.
The girls taking a break. I'm sure they were waiting for Me to catch my breath.
Don't let the smile fool you she was Not a happy hiker!!!
Yet another break. Waiting for the Mom's
Look at Mikalah's face she was done.
Once a gain we found a very nice stranger ;)
Group shot
OK I have to tell you besides the Heat, the flies were the worst part.
So Matthew is a Hiker.....He was going to the top. I knew I wouldn't make it so I told him you go ahead and we will wait....Well at the bottom of the hill, waiting for what seemed like and hour or so I decided I made a mistake in telling him that. So after many prayers and frustrated kids. We were all trying to come up with a plan as to leave Matthew there or leave the keys hanging on the tree for him to drive home. WE were done!!!!
WE did some more exploring and found some camp sites.
I hope no one is home. WE just sat on their table.
Me and the girls
Tari and I was having a great time.

Finally cooled off.
The kids had a great time.
So I told the kids. Don't get your pants wet. So they thought if I roll up my shorts I can go in further. Then it happened. The inevitable....They went under. So needless to say we had wet clothes and they didn't care ;)
Matthew posing for a picture to post on his facebook.
Then we headed up to the old tree. Took a family shot.
Sean was with us in body, maybe not in happiness.....
A short hike around the grounds,
A kid shot,
And only one injury...Thank goodness Samantha had her first aid kit.
