The plan to hike the Old Vista Ridge Trail
didn't work because of the weather and the condition of the road into the trailhead
As a result this turned into several different Hikes along the Salmon River Trail

1) A three mile hike for those very interested in a nice lunch
2) A five mile ramble for those who went on the ramble
3) A seven mile hike for three hardy souls

The hikers get instructions from our able leader Becky at the Salmon River Trailhead

This after a long ride part way to the Vista Ridge Trailhead and back (much of which was on a dirt road)

Some people who were prepared did not mind the rain

This is the trail we hiked on

It is always a delight to hike along the river

The three hardy hiker on the seven mile hike, meet the ramblers along the trail
Note the Ramblers are a bit wet.

The three hardy hikers did get a bit wet.
Here you see them ask the heavens to stop the rain.

The three hardy hikers saw this nursery tree -- the biggest nursery tree in the world

I wonder why there is so much moss on the trees.
