What a great experience for the both of you. I'm glad you had a great time. Great report and pictures.
I still remember my first camping trip with my father I was 5 and I think that is where I got my first trail name...****-it-John.

I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority. - E. B. White (1899 - 1985)
Thanks Muskrat! That looked like a wonderful entrance into the real world of the outdoors for Bugbait.
A short 'starter' hike - cool
A little white lie to keep her safe AND preserve her self confidence - PRICELESS
Thanks for taking us along.

Muskrat - thanks for sharing. I love that area of the Chattooga River & Foothills Trail. Glad to hear everything went well on the trip and your daughter enjoyed the trip. Being able to get away and share time like that w/ our kids is what life is all about.

I am looking forward to our next trip together. Hoping to get my "soon-to-be" 8 yr old out there with us. Once that happens, momma will feel left out and will "want" to come too . . . at least thats how my "evil plan" is designed !

Careful, that plan could backfire, and momma could start really enjoying that break whilst you are all out.

Not for this momma! If the girls are doing something fun, she will not be left out. . . unless its golf
. She is very much into the outdoors and loves being with our girls. Our girls are still fairly young and with this trip being a first time event, I'm sure our youngest is not going to want to be left behind on the next trip. Therefor . . . I'll be planning, packing, cooking, cleaning . . . for all of us
Guess that means I'd better start looking for trails with shorter mileage
