Trekking with Zizzle

Nano and Zizzle on the Trail

Today we hiked a little over 10 miles, in the good company of our friend Zizzle, who came all the way from Pennsylvania to hike with us today. It was another beautiful spring day. The Trail was a bit easier than yesterday, with one big hill to climb with relatively flat Trail on either side. We passed a very fancy boarding school (which are apparently very popular up here), a hydroelectric power plant, and a very old, jam-packed cemetery. So there were lots of interesting things to see today. We even walked right by (and up onto) a very beautiful waterfall at a place aptly named Falls Village.

At the Falls. The Trail actually goes up to the top of the waterfalls, which was very neat.

We took our time. We spent almost an hour at the Falls. We stopped for lunch at the top of the big climb. When it's so nice out, it's hard not to dilly dally a bit so you can soak it all in. After we reached our destination for the day and did the dance of the vehicles to get everything in place for tomorrow, we meandered back to the RV and grilled some tasty burgers and roasted marshmallows on the campfire. We wanted to give Zizzle the real wilderness experience. Although we had it so nice today, I'm afraid he just got the impression that we're living the cushy life out here. Which, I have to say, some days I think so too.
To prove it, here's another picture of beautiful springtime on the Trail
