Herschel Hikes through the Rainforest

December 24, 2016

On day two we packed a picnic lunch and drove through mountain tunnels and literal clouds to get to the China/Burma Border and hike to a waterfall. This is pretty much a subtropical rain forest area that leads to a 100 meter waterfall. 

Our kids LOVE this, it is a child's paradise of nature exploration. All kids including Gabrielle hiked the mile in. We put her in the ergo on the way back.

Herschel enjoyed the hike and tons of photo ops.

Yeah we made it! There was a ton of water coming down, more than last time and it is our dry season. We really cooled off once we sat down to eat our lunch. Chilly!

Gator Nation is everywhere folks.

This is a cool pic:

Not to be outdone by this one:

It had been less than 24 hours and already our kids (and us too of course) loved having Uncle Herschel around.

This park is filled with turkeys and peacocks. They like to sit on the ledge over the entrance to the bathroom.

This was Christmas Eve day, we returned home, rested, and got ready for a local dinner we were invited to that night.
