After breakfast, I am put in charge of making sandwiches. We are going for a long hike on a trail that starts only a few yards away from the cabin. The trail is supposed to lead to a beautiful waterfall where we will stop to have a picnic and go for a swim.
I love the idea of hiking through the woods, being one with nature, etc., etc., but to be completely honest, I am terrified! I am a city girl. I don’t know what to do if I run into a bear or a coyote or a… okay, enough! Vi and her family spend every summer here and none of them have been mauled by a bear. Have they?
Anyway, we each fill our backpacks with sandwiches, snacks, water, our bathing suits, our bug spray and our sunscreen. I also pack my new camera. If I am going to see a bear, I hope to at least get a good picture of it!
