Gorgeous Hike

I had forgotten about this nice little bike trail that begins just a couple miles from our home.
We enjoyed a beautiful walk among the Trillium and ferns and eventually found our first cache containing "good-ies." The kids were thrilled to trade a trinket each for a new one from the cache. Also, this was the first one hubby found!

Trillium is a gorgeous spring flower that is plentiful in the wooded areas of Oregon. We saw all different shades today, from pure white to deep purple. I had to keep reminding the kids not to pick them because it is actually illegal in our state to pick them. We have been told it takes seven years for a Trillium to bloom again after it has been picked, if it even survives.
