This weekend, Paul took Gaius and Hoban on a backpacking overnight in the Gorge on the Herman Creek Trail. They went with his good friend Josh, and his dog, Hildi. This was Hoban's first backpack, and as you can see, he was very excited and ready to go, in his brand new red backpack. That's Hildi at the back if this first picture, with Gaius in the middle.
After about 6 miles, they stopped for lunch near a creek. Hoban insisted on sleeping IN Paul's lap while they rested. 
Here's a picture of one of the waterfalls they passed along the way.
After 12.5 miles of hiking, they made it to the spot where they camped. Due to too much snow, they weren't able to make it up to Herman Creek. Here's a picture of the boys at dinnertime!
After a hard day of hiking, Gaius wanted nothing more than to nap with his papa.
They finished the loop today with 8.5 miles back to the car. Topping off a great backpacking weekend was a stop at Charburger, a great treat at the end of a hard hike. Finally, they returned home, happy and ready for a big nap.
