Things are starting to feel more and more normal as friends continue to get vaccinated. We have been vaccinated for a couple months now, but were to the point it's safe to see friends! In small gatherings, of course. This weekend Siku was in town to visit with Taf, and we got to join for a bit on Saturday, and we all agreed to go on an adventure day the next day. I was very excited!
We woke up on Sunday morning and they came to pick us up at our house. We loaded suits into the cars and headed off. It was a beautiful day out today which we were all thankful for. Grave and I were in a car with Siku who we hadn't seen since VF 2020, right before covid really hit. So it was great to be in the car with him and chat the whole way.
Taf and his friend lead us to a trail head where we parked and got ready to hike. It was a decently easy trail along a creek. We all got ready and headed off into the trail.

The hike was extremely peaceful. It was quiet, other than an occasional dirt bike coming through but they were always polite. We could hear the sounds of the creek as well as nature sounds. We chatted a lot and just enjoyed the day. After a while of hiking we got to a good spot to see the creek! We all stopped for a break and enjoyed the calming sounds of the water. Grave and I also got suit photos, of course.
We enjoyed this spot for a while and had some fun. Soon enough Taf said he needed to turn back, but we were still game to go a bit farther. So Taf and his friend headed back while me, Grave, and Siku continued on down the trail a bit. We had fun chatting and walking the trail. We walked for quite a bit until I noticed we were quite close to the creek. I navigated my way through some trees and found a little rocky area right next to the water I knew I wanted some pictures at.
We checked the area out a bit before I got my suit out for some photos.
We ended up hanging out at this spot for a while. We had a lot of fun chatting and even skipped rocks for a while. It was nice to kinda chill after hiking the trail. The trail didn't quite have an "end" to it, it just followed along this creek for a few miles. But finding this little beach was nice.
After a while of hanging out here we figured we should start making our way back to the car. So we packed up all of our stuff and headed back down the trail. We had a lot of fun chatting all the way back to where the cars were parked. We sat down, had some snacks and drinks before deciding to continue up the mountain roads since the sign said it'd lead to town. So we headed off up the road.
After we went around a corner we saw an awesome view so we decided to stop.

We hung out here for a few minutes before climbing back into our cars and continuing down the road. We drove through the forest for a while until suddenly we noticed, we were on a mountain top! Woah! And uh oh, it was a dead end. We got a bit lost haha. But I think in this case, getting lost was a blessing, it was awesome up here!
We explored around for a bit, and we noticed we could see the town we were trying to get to below. So we were not too lost haha. We had cell signal up here, so a couple people checked maps to see where we could go. I of course wanted some fursuit photos up here!
It was a bit windy and chilly up here, but it sure was cool! After I got my photos Grave also got his fursuit head on for some photos, and thanks to Siku we got some together!
After getting suit photos, I decided to explore around. There was a gate but I walked under it (We saw a guy hiking it as we arrived and there were no signs saying off limits) and I walked up the hill to see if the view got any better. It didn't quite but I enjoyed getting up there anyway!
I walked around up there alone for a while and on my way down everyone joined me just behind the gate. We took in the views, chatted, threw some rocks and just had fun. Soon enough we knew we should probably get going, so we figured out on maps where to go then piled back into cars and headed out. We may of gotten slightly lost, but it was worth it for that view!
We pretty much drove all the way down, only stopping one more time at a neat view, but I didn't get my suit out this time. Just kinda checked it out and then we kept going. We drove through the forest for quite some time before we finally started seeing cabins and homes which meant we had to be getting close. Finally we found ourselves in town. I was sad to be out of the mountains, but we were all pretty tired and hungry. We stopped at a local place for some food in town which was super good. Then we all said goodbye to Siku as he headed back home, Grave and I got into Taf's Friend's car and we headed home as well.
What an awesome day! I'm so glad we went out today, it was so fun and we got to see so many amazing sights. Thanks to Siku, Taf and his friend for including us in this fun day! Until next adventure!
