Wonder as I Wander

On day two of our Redwood Run with Auntie M...
we encountered rain.

My Mom continued to take pictures of the inside of E's nose...

Auntie M had her camera ready...

We explored new trails.
At some point I decided to keep on a trail with Auntie M
while Mommy, Daddy, and E. said they would meet us at the trail's end.

The trail had some wonderful views of the beautiful Smith river.

This is what we did not know--
the bridge that would take us to where Mommy and Daddy
were waiting for us was a
"summer access only seasonal bridge".

Auntie M decided we should keep going
on another trail.

There were great large trees to keep us company.
Auntie M kept saying we would see Mommy and Daddy any minute.
It was a few miles to the road.

Finally we came to the road that runs through the redwoods.
I had been on many times before...
but no parents on it...
We walked past the old stump...
We walked over that bridge with the weird railing...
Finally after a mile or so...
we saw the van coming for us.

E. well fed in the back was very happy to see us.

We drove by the stump on the way out...
we took a picture to remember that we were safe.
