These two hikers are top notch - 10 miles of mountain terrain last Saturday! We started out on a shortened version of our yearly hike (toddler and all - didn't want to push too hard), but we kind of miscalculated the distance... We hiked ALL DAY - up hill, down hill, over rocks and boulders....
What an adventure. And poor John packed the grandbaby the whole way! And the grandbaby was such a trooper. True outdoorsmen...
Nana held up well too, till the very end - when my brakes gave out on the downhill. But I really didn't suffer any consequences from the fall - my knees just got a bit wobbly. I have had a bit of a consequence this week though - didn't know I had all those muscles in my calves....
I wouldn't have missed it - the views from the top were breathtaking. And what a wonderful way to spend time with family.

Nikon Coolpix 5700
I haven't used my Nikon Coolpix 5700 in quite a while - I have a little Canon PowerShot that is so handy that I usually use it, or just snap pics with my iPhone. But fall is here and I want to get some shots with my Nikon, so I got it out and charged the battery and grrrrrrr.... It will not focus - really strange stuff and the picture looks just like it does in the viewfinder.
I was sooooo disappointed, but then I did some research, and it appears that it is a known issue with the Coolpix 5700 and Nikon has issued an advisory here. All I have to do is ship it to them and they will fix it.
I plan to ship it out on Monday - I'll keep ya posted as to how it goes...
