Weekend Adventure: Stub Stewart

Since our "camping" trip got canceled in February, we wanted to get at least one weekend trip in before our spring break vacation.  So, we headed west of town about 30 miles to Stub Stewart State Park.  (It's grown up some since Gabe and I went there back in 2008.)

We did some mountain biking.

Discovered a couple of newts on the trail, which Levi wanted to bring home as pets.

And woke up to a dusting of snow.
This was after breakfast when the snow was starting to melt and was mixing with rain.
Levi was trying to catch the big, wet flakes in his mouth.

And Gabe's big question of the weekend was:

"Why do mountain bikers get such a bad rap on trails when horses leave them looking like this?"

It was terrible.  We had to walk and drag Levi's bike on the side of the trail in the left of the picture.

It was a fun trip.  And it's really nice that we can get home from that park in less than an hour.  (Now getting out there on a Friday after work was another matter...)
