Challenge Accepted

A few weeks ago
(prior to our vacation)

Nathan and I (mostly me) were getting island fever
So we decided to try something new and
test our limits with a challenge



The challenge:

To hike
All of Saba's 2855 ft
from Sea level to the very top
(the top of Mount. Scenery)

Mt. Scenery from Spring Bay

And
that is just what we did!

It started out as a beautiful, hot, sunny day

We hiked from our cottage down the Spring Bay trail to Sea level

Of course we made sure we touched the water!

Cati along the Spring Bay Trail

The town of Windwardside 

is conveniently about half way up the mountain

We refueled with a picnic lunch in the park

The '"kids" playing in the park

Only 1064 more steps to go!

On our way up we had great views!

We are getting into the clouds now...

Windwardside from Top of Mt.Scenery

Airport (top), Hell's Gate (left), Windwardside (right)

And then the clouds really came...

And then

 it rained

and when it rains, it pours

we got soaking wet.

But

all in all, it was a 

fun-exhausting-satisfying day

Or at the very least 

I was way too tired to care about island fever!
