In May all the Sork boys went on an overnight trip to Siouxon
Creek near Mt. St. Helens with the Harmony Teachers Quorum. After living in Clark County my entire life,
I was amazed that I had never before been to Siouxon. It was spectacular and immediately became one
of my favorite backpacking destinations.
To be a Spring backpacker in the Pacific Northwest you have
to be willing to endure the rain and cool temperatures that come with it. Yes we got a bit wet, but the trip was
fantastic. With Tanner at BYU this year,
it had been a year since the four Sork boys had a chance to hang out
camping.
It was great to see the boys spending time together.
We discovered a waterfall and tried out my
new backpacking stove. Dinner was
gourmet mash potatoes with fresh bacon, cheese and chives. We woke up to damp tents and wet sleeping
bags, but we were still warm and happy.
I loved the trip so much, that I planned a
future one later that Summer with Carson and Gizzy.
