Spirit Sands Hike

It was morning.
The sky was clear.
The weather was perfect.
And the people were happy.





After a quick check of the main map.... we were off.


Our destination?
The punch-bowl.








We took a short detour to a "higher" location (the lookout).
 Every one of the cellphone/smartphone deprived people pulled out their devices. (that IS what the lookout was made for right?!?!?!)






Oh... and we took some pictures :)



After awhile, we arrived at the dunes... and it was PLAY TIME!!!







We resumed our walking and after 3 more miles we came to what we assumed was the punch bowl.










We looked, and thought it was very pretty, but we wondered why it wasn't as exciting as we thought it would be??
But being the positive people that we are... we just smiled, looked some more, smiled some more and then began the long walk back
Unbeknown to us... our Pastor T had found another trail and had found (and seen) what was the ACTUAL punch-bowl.
By the time word got to us, it was to late to turn around.
So we never did get to see this mysterious punch-bowl
But some day we will hike the 7k again.... and we will see it.


For now we are happy for the memory of the hike with some of our favourite people.
To the punch-bowl. 
That we never saw.
