A Foggy Rainy Hike
Took the family up to Mount Spokane today to collect a few more huckleberries and see if we could recover the GPS unit that I lost last Monday. It wasn't the best day for hiking.
It rained pretty hard yesterday, and all the bushes where wet. We saw no other humans on our 2 mile round trip. We did see a few chipmunks.
Last week, we hiked and picked in the same area, and I lost my GPS. Andee was sure we could find it, but I thought it was a lot like trying to find a needle in a haystack. It is pretty hard to see your feet in many of the places that I was picking.
After 20 or 30 minutes of crawling around trying to find some recognizable spot, I had pretty much given up and returned to the trail. About 6 feet off the trail, I happened across it.

On our way out, found one of the best patches I have found, and we quickly picked enough for a pie. It was quite rainy, but the kids where relatively patient.
On the way home, our brakes went out. Looks like we will have to replace the rotor on the front drivers side.
