Mom: Amy made me soooo happy! She agreed to go backpacking. We've gotten our weight down a bit- me about 35 lbs and her with 10 lbs. I squeezed this trip between two overnight work shifts and seriously needed some sky time. We set off to our all time favorite summer hike: Opal Creek!
Amy: This hike is one of our all time favorites.
Mom: We hit the trail at 4pm- the perfect time because everyone was going home. The wilderness was our playground!
Amy: This cabin finally collapsed.SOB SNIFF sorry.
Mom: The creek was so beautiful in the early evening light and we soaked our dinner while playing in the natural waterslide.
Amy: I LOVE💓💗♡🎔♡♡❤💕💕 The
natural waterslide.
Mom: I have a really good swimmer now and she loves the natural waterslide. We both took a few turns and had it all to ourselves.
Mom: She stayed in the cold water a lot longer than I did, though I went down the slide a few times.
Amy: This is proof.
Mom: Clear cold water and Amy after a jump in.
Amy: Cold but fun.
Mom: Cold, wet, and happy!
Amy: The waterslide in all it's glory.
Mom: Next stop was to set up camp and then to Opal Pool for a post hike cold evening swim.
Amy: Opal pool is SO COLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mom: We jump off the lowest rocks and enjoy the shockingly cold water. Again we had the place to ourselves.
Amy: Shockingly cold is right.
Mom: I took lots of pictures to warm up and drip dry. The look of shock and shivering from the cold.
Amy: Again, proof.
Mom: On Sunday we came again after breaking down camp- this time watching cliff jumpers and other swimmers. See you next year Opal Pool!
Amy: It was hard to say goodbye to this fun, fun pool. Did I mention it was cold?
