Pack it in... Pack it out...

On any given hike i have a tendency to "go just around the next bend" for several miles before i decide that it is in fact time to turn around. My Mom has been with me many times when i do this. Today was supposed to be a short hike up and around Roosevelt National Forest. No real destination. I ended up "let's just see what is around the bend"-ing for, ehhhh, about 8 miles. My Mom rocked that hike like she was 20. She even wore Jett on her back for almost half of the hike (she demanded to take him...) It was a beautiful day, plenty of other hikers, and lots of time on our hands. We were rewarded by the most beautiful waterfall when we finally reached our unknown destination.  Couldn't have been a more perfect day!
