I met my brother-in-law and his wife and kids for our sorta annual backpacking trip. We decided to check out the Seneca Creek area instead of going back to the Dolly Sods.

We met at Spruce Knob, the highest point in WV. There is a lookout tower that provides great views. 

Lots of flowers on the short hike to the lookout tower.

Five kids ready to hike

We finished at the Seneca Creek Trailhead and planned on walking the road back to the cars, but we were able to hitch a ride with a woman who had just finished up a trail work trip, so we did not have to walk the couple miles back to the car. 

Great weather and the kids had fun with their cousins, so a great trip

Bernheim Forest

 11/2/21

I took my kids for a dayhike in Bernheim Forest near Louisville.

"In conjunction with our 90^th anniversary in 2020, Bernheim welcomed Danish artist, Thomas Dambo, to construct three giant sculptures throughout the arboretum using recycled wood from the region. We are thrilled to welcome Mama Loumari with her children, Little Nis and Little Elina, and her third baby Giant, who is currently living in Mama's belly." (https://bernheim.org/forestgiants/)

Second kid, Little Elina?
