wanna go down like lundy lundy lundy

CJ and AUD hike Lundy Canyon, 2012.

I work with some awesome people who enjoy the outdoors!
Dr. Dees & his wife, Margaret, invited CJ & I to hike Lundy Canyon with them this week.
When Dr. Dees first mentioned it, he described it as "an easy going hike with the right amount of incline, & you end up at the waterfall"
...waterfall...
YES! (we are suckers for waterfall hikes)

The hike was, indeed, pretty easy going (granted the last 3 hikes CJ & I went on there was 2-hours of incline)
You can see our last three hikes: here, here & here

Dr. Dees & Margaret hike quite often (they told us some pretty crazy stories! ie. hiking until 1 in the morning!) so it was nice to be around people who knew the names of the flowers & different trees & wild life we encountered.

destination: bliss.

We sat up at the top of the waterfalls eating watermelon, grapes, & cucumbers.

Obviously it wouldn't be a C&A adventure without a picture of all of us!

Up we go!

I lost the battle against the mosquito bites: I have at least 20!
I looked it up, 10% of the population are "mosquito magnets" -- I am unfortunately part of the 10%

CJ came out pretty unscathed: 5 bites.

This was right after Margaret accidentally swallowed a bug.

We were so fortunate that they invited us on this awesome hike!

It really was picturesque there!

On the way back through the greenery!

What I enjoyed most was that for most of the hike, there was water nearby!
We even had to cross over a couple of streams.

Can't really tell, but this was a super cool dam!


On the way out of Lundy, there is this rock that someone painted into an indian chief...

After our hike we set out to Lee Vining for dinner at a barbecue place.
Can't go wrong with a tri-tip sandwich!
Overall, it was wonderful to spend the day with such great people in the beautiful outdoors!
Plus, this is a hike that I am 100% positive CJ & I will embark on again and again.
