I thought since Spicy Lady (my wife) hasn't had anything to blog about recently that I would tell you of a hike that LM and I took with a scout group on Aug. 28th. We took about a 30 minute drive west of *** ***** to the base of a trail that went up to Devil's Head. Devil's Head is an old fire lookout that has been around since 1912. It is one of the last lookout towers left in **** with an active ranger that lives near the top of the peak during the summer. The hike is only about a mile and half each way from the trail head to a beautiful meadow on the top of a mountain. From the meadow, there are about 140 stairs up to the top of a rock where the tower is located. Once you get to the top of the rock (just a little shy of 10,000 ft.) you can see over 100 miles in each direction. It's an amazing view. You can see downtown and many other landmarks. It was a great way to enjoy the outdoors of *****.

There were plenty of rocks along the trail.

What a great hike! We'll need to find out exactly where it starts so we can go!
Oh, and Spicy Lady???
hahahhahahah
I specifically want to know more about two things. ONE, how "Spicy Lady" became Spicy Lade, and TWO, were there any vampires in that meadow?
What a fantastic hike and it looks so gorgeous there! Thanks for hijacking the blog TM! :)
I'm glad I'm not the only one who was wondering about vampires in the meadow! :-) It looks gorgeous up there. (Wherever "there" is.)
