We are back from huckleberry picking on Mt. Spokane.
The highlight of the day for most of the children seemed to be when Nelson caught a grasshopper with his lightening quick hands and shared his catch with the children. We did come across some people on horseback and one other pail carrying hiker during our outing. The weather was 100% cooperative with temps in the 70's, lots of breeze, and unstoppable sunshine.
We had a pretty good turn out today for our foraging on Mt. Spokane. There were a few more pickers who didn't quite make it into this photo. The ruse of berry picking worked well to keep the kids excited for about an hour and half of searching the underbrush. Sadly this year's crop of huckleberries has either already been picked over or just not as good as most years. Stay tuned for more fun outings!
