Hiking

There are a ton of hiking trails around here but normally we only come for a day or two so we don’t try them out. This time, we’ve gotten out for the first time and hiked through the rainforest. Rainforest since it rains every time you enter into that jungle!
We walked around 30 minutes and ended at a park. When we asked the guy how to get back to our car he said we should just turn around and go back the way we came since that was the closest route. Turns out we had driven to town and then walked all the way near our place, only to walk back to town and drive home. Perhaps not the most efficient thing but it was good exercise and the kids didn’t complain too, too much about the hike … except when we had to stop for a 30-minute downpour.

I always think of the fireswamp when I hike there. It's soooo true about the rain. I think that forest has it's own weather system. A rainy weather system.
"We know the secrets of the fireswamp. We could live there quite comfortably for some time."
