Plains of Abraham

I had delayed the plan to hike to Plains of Abraham when I learned that the black flies were voracious during the week I was planning to go. The later date meant most of the flowers were gone though the view and the terrain were intriguing enough without the color of wildflowers.

The Muddy River is truly muddy. Watching it spill over the ledge you could see there was nothing clear about that water. It looked like milk chocolate pudding, really. We hung out at Plains of Abraham to enjoy the view, the top of Mt St Helens in front of us and the lush forest to our left and the distinct line where the forest ends and the rock begins. It must be a geologists dream up there.

We ran into Jodi's neighbor on the trail. This came as a complete surprise. There are miles and miles of trails and we ended up on the same one, small world!
