Out for a hike.........A long hike!

A few weekends ago we decided to go for a hike. We went to a place called South Mountain in Phoenix. Side note from Levi: South Mountain is the location of the largest municipal park in the US. Anyways there are a lot of different hikes to choose from and we decided to do a hike that was around six miles long. We got to a place called fat man's pass (because you have to shimmy between the mountain to get through). Well I guess we went the day the boy scouts had a hiking outing because they were all over the place and of course blocking the sign where we were suppose to turn around to hike back. So needless to say we hiked in the wrong direction about another mile and a half. Then of course another mile and half back to fat mans pass where we got back on our trail. So we started hiking again and we got to a point where the trail split in two directions and of course just our luck there was a post where a sign should have been but of course was gone. So we picked the more traveled trail and what do you know we ended up in a totally different parking lot than our car. We had to look like idiots and ask these guys for a ride around the mountain to our car. Well we ended up hiking about nine miles instead of the six. We still had a good time but since then we haven't been out for a hike.This chipmunk saw us from across the wash and he knew exactly what to do....... we watched him jump from rock to rock to get near us to beg for food. So of course Levi pulled out the goldfish crackers and fed him. Then when we got home Levi had to look up how to keep chipmunks as pets. It is possible but would take a lot of work!
