The weather was even warmer this weekend, so a little spontaneous camping was in order. It was one of those last minute decisions where we probably spent more time weighing our options that it took to actually swing by the grocery store and head out to the gorge to find a spot. To my surprise, we the campgrounds were dead over the weekend and we did not have any trouble finding a really nice site at Herman Creek...

We did a little hike Saturday morning and walked down to Herman Creek. Like everything else in the gorge, getting there means walking uphill. In this case, the creek was a nice little surprise after going a couple miles on a hot day.

It's interesting how quickly the temperature drops when you walk down into a chasm like this. Everything just cooled down, and Gertie even jumped in for a little swim. Definitely a reward for hiking on a warm day.

I think we'll be doing a lot of camping this Summer...
