Moonshine Arch

This morning we ventured out to Moonshine Arch, which is just past Steinaker Reservoir. The temperature was a nice mid 40's, which could not be better for this time of year and this part of the country. Jace brought along his good friend Jordan.

There were some wind tunnel/caves adjacent to the arch that the boys loved to climb and explore.

Jace and Jordan kept asking if they could climb around on different parts; however one time they disappeared and by the time Zack and I caught up with them we found them on top of the arch. Below is a pic of Jace and Jordan on top of the arch before I made them get down.

This past week Jace and Zack have been watching a lot of the Man vs Wild episodes. In the show Bear Grylls is a maniac and climbs up all sorts of mountains. Apparently this show has influenced Zack, because he was fearless around cliffs and wanted to climb up every mountain we came to. At times he made me real nervous, so I would follow him and hold onto the loop of his backpack.

After exploring the arch a bit we hiked up over the face of the mountain and tried to find a different way back to our truck.


We ended up hiking/running down the face of this mountain, which did not look to bad while we were on it. Once we got to the bottom we looked back and could not believe what we had just come down.
