He had called them to make sure they were dining in and to see if reservations were required. Yes dining, reservations not required. But when we got there they asked us if we had reservations (no) and then told us it was a 20 min wait. So, we gave them our name and phone number and went for a walk. This is a new thing with the pandemic, restaurants and campgrounds are taking your name, phone number an sometimes pictures of your drivers license. Just in case there is an outbreak.
Anyway, we went for a walk
We walked across the bridge and noticed that there were people walking up the ski jumps. And then we noticed they were coming down and jumping. We had to get a better look.
It was so fun to watch. They were just kids.
We received a text that our table was ready so we headed back to the restaurant. A little disappointing that after having to wait 20 min they didn’t seat us by the creek, but rather closer to the building and in the sun.
It was a cut place, tranquil and the food and service were both very good.
From there we drove up to Fish Falls Trailhead. It is a 4.7 mile (round trip) hike up to the top of lower and upper falls. Once again it was quite difficult.
The hike up to the lower falls was pretty smooth and easy...
But then it became a bunch more difficult. Steeper, rockier, narrower and cliffs
Bella is an amazing little trekker. She can scramble up huge rocks.
I wasn’t quite sure I was going to make it all the way, but then we could hear the falls and just around the bend. There they were.
It was really pretty up there as well, with the rocks and the wild flowers.
We headed back down. Man oh man. That became more difficult than going up. Not huffing and puffing, more like grunting and groaning as my knees were giving out and my hips were starting to ache.
But we made it. We stopped at the liquor store for some beers for Rob later and for waters to put in the Jeep and we headed back to the RV
I had a couple missed calls while on the hike. One was from the Title Company in Fresno. Barbara’s house is closing escrow today and they needed signatures on the final Docs. I was able to talk to Barbara and she was very relieved about being out from under the house and all it’s expenses.
I tried to talk with Mom, but every time we connected she couldn’t hear.
Rob went back out Mountain biking. He wanted to do do the Lupine trail all the way up and then the NPR down, a little faster this time.
Rob went to bed early. I stayed up finishing the blog.
We got a little bit of rain this evening and it made for a pretty sunset. The pictures don’t do it justice, but it was pretty.
Hug your loved ones and hold them tight. Life is so short. You just don’t know what waits around the corner.
