Hiking Machines-Summitting Mount Peg

We pulled off our first family hike where either R or I needed to carry one of the kids for an extended period of time. We went up Mt. Peg in Woodstock, which looks just like the mountain pictured to the left. What a nice hike, perfect first one for the family.

A had done the hike with her camping group, and it was definitely manageable. We had some concerns about N since he's not experienced at hiking, but he breezed through it. In fact, he did a better job than his old dad.

We stopped in Woodstock first to get some cheese and bread to feel like Europeans and then we parked the car and went for it. Truth be told, it was pretty easy, and we had a little camping supper at the summit, followed by a piece of mint-chocolate fudge for dessert.

What a nice way to end the day as we watched the sun set over hills. Since the weather is cooler, it's perfect for late afternoon hikes, so we'll plan more in future.

Until then, thanks for reading, and thanks to Evan Earwicker for the pic.
