Tubal Cane Mine Hike

We are exhausted from a hike to the Tubal Cane Mine today but it was an awesome experience! The hike was about 8.5 miles round trip and Payton got an A++! He was such a trooper! The drive was about 1.5 hours, with 45 minutes on gravelly, windy roads and he didnt' fuss at all. The hike in was uphill most of the ways but still, no complaints. Once we got there, Ryan and Sean (our hiking companion, along with his Pitbull Toby) hiked into the actual Mine which had FREEZING water. Pea, the dogs and I stayed behind and Pea was content sticking his hands in the water and pointing at things. Here is a pic of him talking to the water. He calls everything 'Ma' right now!

Here's a pic of the opening to the Mine. No thanks!


We hung out at the top for about an hour and then made our way back which was super easy as it was mostly downhill...and because Pea slept in the pack! Isn't he cute?





Needless to say, we are looking forward to a relaxing Sunday at home:)
