Earl M. Hardy Box Canyon


This was a super fun day for all of us...including the dog. We drove through a bunch of corn fields and parked in what felt like the middle of nowhere. We slathered on sunscreen and then hiked for about a mile on a gravel road. Then out of nowhere this huge canyon appeared.



We hiked a bit further and then the trail lead down the side of the canyon. It was a rough hike but completely worth all the views of the river and falls.



When we got down to this lake area we really wished that we had swimsuits. Ruth went trudging into the water anyways and started to float downstream...face down. Brad had to jump in to saver her.

Here are some pics of us relaxing in the back yard in the hammock I bought in Mexico before Brad and I got married. (And I'm down to 187 pounds!)
