10 Mile Creek Trail Adventures


Hello all –

Wow! It has been a long time! I apologize profusely for abandoning the blog for so long, but honestly – work has been crazy (we’re at full summer capacity) and honestly, nothing much interesting has happened. Work has been work and off days have been off days.

I went on a hike yesterday, though! It was my first time out of Village in over two months. We were planning on going to Martin’s Ridge, the mountain north of the Village, but we didn’t get there due to time constraints because Chalet 5 hosted Sunday morning coffee. As a result, Sally, Lena, Mike, Anna and I decided to hike around the Ridge and do some bushwhacking to get to 10 Mile Creek.

First, we hiked up about 30 minutes of switchbacks up the side of Martin’s Ridge. That was exhausting. From there, we journeyed about an hour into the Ridge, through thick forests and open views close the Creek. There were mountains on either side of us – Martin’s Ridge to the east and more to our right. Hiking through, we kept up lighthearted banter, which made the afternoon even more enjoyable.

Now - for a photo, because the internet is being really slow and only letting me upload one at a time... :) 

10 Mile Creek!
I will update again soon! 

From the Village -

  1. Sounds like you are really busy! I'm so glad that you were able to go out and see some of the landscape...looks like beautiful territory! Hot and steamy here in MN...the mountains look cool and refreshing!

    Love you lots, Dean Bean!
