Hiking Old Stamp Mill Trail

On Sunday, we decided to head out and enjoy the Lord’s creation by having a picnic by the water and then hiking the Old Stamp Mill Trail at Picacho State Park.  Little did we know that our idea of having a picnic by the water would be foiled by a windstorm.

Project 365 – #025

As you can see with this picture of D walking towards us, the wind was really kicking.  We decided to find a more sheltered spot away from the crazy wind to enjoy our lunch.  After lunch, we began our hike.  The cool breeze felt nice as we hiked along the up and down trail.

Once we made it to our destination – the old stamp mills – we took a short break.  Thanks to an old stone wall, we were also able to grab a group shot.  (I had to push the timer button on my camera and quickly run from behind the stone wall to get into the picture.  It was a hoot.)

On our way back to the house, we ran across some stranded travelers, so we helped them out.  That in and of itself was an interesting adventure.  Once we were able to get a cell signal and contact the tow truck, we were once again on our way home.

Our day was not yet over as we decided to go see Prince Caspian and the Voyage of the Dawn Treader at the base theater.  After the movie, we walked back home, ate a late supper, and enjoyed relaxing a bit before bed.  All-in-all, it was a fun day filled with many different adventures.
