And we're off with JD leading us into the canyon
That last bit sure didn't seem very flat..

Connor battles a ghost with his shovel

okay, who gets the cabin tonight? who dares??

JD knows that water boils faster when you watch it
This is how we make apple cobbler on a backpack trip..
Mr. Frantz sautees some salmon..I'm eating with him tonight!

Hey Jude, what are you having for dinner??

This is Mrs. Moreash's supper, a baked desert papaya
Ryan decides his appler cobbler would be better if it was -- upside down!
Saved!
Tell us some ghost stories, we want to be SCARED tonight
Blake and Mr. Pendleton
Jude and Mr. Haycraft
Connor and Mr. McCormick

Mr. Mikac lived through his night in the cabin and is still smiling!

Ryan and Mr. Kiefer
Michael and Mr. Moorehead

The scariest thing in Haunted Canyon..

Mr. Frantz and Alex
And we hike back out, half of us decide to fight the acacia and go out the north trail, the other half take the longer, but much more scenic creekside trail
Fall colors

Break time

Classy trail marker
The not so flat part of this hike
but at least there is no acacia on this trail! I used up all my bandaids yesterday
The final stretch!
We're waiting for the rest of our group and we are HUNGRY!!
Hey, Jude, you did great!!!

This is our favorite part of the hike!!

Get your paws off my Number 1

Okay, we're smiling, go away so we can eat!!
