December 1st

I don't really know where we went today.  We left about 11:00, took a lunch and headed into the mountains.  The area isn't too far from our home...kind of... it was a 2 hour drive.  We went out to find a trailhead or two and 'explore' the area for future camping and hiking adventures.  It was great!  We saw a river!!  You may think...yeah, so what...Alas, we don't see rivers here.  Maybe a stream...maybe...a dry river bed --yes. So it was so refreshing to see a largish river with Anglers doing their thing.
We also saw the aftermath of a forest fire. We do not know when it happened, but there are not many 'baby' trees around there yet, so the landscaped look naked. 
We drove and drove and drove and then stopped to have lunch and explore.  You know, it really doesn't take much for kids to enjoy themselves in nature.  I think the hard part is getting them out in it.
