Wilderness Vacation: Day Three - After Dawn

The real morning is finally here as announced by the coffee makers performance of exasperated expulsion of its dark elixir of eye opening requirement. We set the timer to an hour later than normal so we can honestly call it a vacation. Again fine discussion as we sit in bed and drink the coffee brew determining what our agenda should be for the day.....oh yeah....we don't have to have a schedule. Too strange.

Most of the campers have left for home except the two little boys and their father next door to us whose noise seems to break through the calm peacefulness of the fresh mountain air like clanging cymbals. We decide to go and bathe and prepare ourselves for the day full of relaxing. 

So we did it.

After a simple lite breakfast, I decide I want to try out a run. Not really anywhere to really run except for on the road. A twisting winding route through the mountains with little room on the edge to walk much less run. One side is an upward hill that is mostly a wall of dirt, rocks and vegetation while the other side is a downward cliff into the tumbling rocks and river rapids below. 

So I did it.

I ran it anyway....or at least I tried......upward climb is an understatement. I don't really get far. Up in one direction and downwards on the return. It made for a good workout.

The rest of the day was for doing nothing. Really....nothing! So hard to do. I really worked hard at doing nothing. Sitting in our chairs and watched the water flow by.......how many gallons do you suppose? We both really wanted to take a nap. All this relaxing was exhausting. After all a nap was just what the doctor ordered.

So we did it.

What a couple of lazy bums we are. But it felt good. We intended on cooking a dinner type dish but I had this craving for a ham and cheese sandwich on a bagel.

So we did it.

We also cooked cinnamon apples over the open campfire for dessert......absolutely yummy. What a great idea. They hit the spot.....but we still needed a SMOREGASM or two before heading inside the cabin for the evening playing a Word game on the ipad.

What a great relaxing day.
