Camping is much more fun when you can play! My ankle has been holding up well which meant I could mountain bike and run in one of our favorite camping places. Where that is will remain a secret. Very few people and lots of forest service roads running along beautiful creeks. After the usual walking and pylometric warm-up, we were able to do a 30 minute run. We were trying to stick to the 2 minute run/1 minute walk ratio, but it was a little messed up due to Buddy's sporadic sniff stops. Here's Bud patiently indulging me with a photo moment when he really wanted to run and take a dip in the creek.

Wildflowers, including Indian Paintbrush, were abundant.
Mountain biking has been a dream for awhile. It's still a bit risky getting on and off the bike because my ankle still isn't strong enough to take a lot of sudden weight. I've avoided trails because of that, so this forest service road was perfect. There was a lot of climbing even though it doesn't look like it in this photo.

What a wonderful week...seems we were camping at the same time :)
We love perfect weekends, too! What a gentleman Buddy was in pausing for a photo-op. Glad you were able to get out for some running and riding. Beautiful area!
So nice! I love camping and being able to run and hike is a requirement wherever I go. Feel free to email me your "secret" place. It looks similar to where I like to go. ;)
Fun!!!
