    Penny River

    This adventure began as a 7-day hike, but ended after 2 days

    I sprained my foot and I could hardly walk. My son got a sharp pain in his back and could not carry his backpack at the end.

    We had at least two wonderful days at the Penny River and we will be back soon when we have healed all wounds.

    My camera refused to film so it had to be pictures instead.

    Enjoy

    Give me two trees, then I'm happy.

    Yes my foot was really swollen. The Rookie is still very sore in his back. We had hoped for a longer trip, but health comes first. We'll try again soon.

    Thanks! I thought it was like "icing on the cake" with the sticker.

    A couple of days is always better than none! sorry to hear about the injuries but sounds like you'll both be back soon enough.
