a day off and hiking the Fishhook

Today was a fabulous day off! I stayed up late last night, so I let myself sleep in this morning. I had no crazy plans to drive home for my time off...so I had a kicked back, relax, no plans kinda day off, and it was absolutely fabulous! I took my time and lounged this morning. I took a trip "into town" aka Stanley to run a few errands....first stop the bakery! This little bakery in town has THE BEST cinnamon rolls ever! Life has been crazy lately, so I treated myself to one and it was great!!! I picked it up to go and took it with me to the lovely laundromat! A friend told me about it and said that they are super cheap (it's $3.50 per load here on campus *ouch!*)....so sad that I didn't get a picture of this little place, but the savings was totally worth it! And it gave me time, while sitting and waiting there, to read a bit and catch up with a friend on the phone....'cause I actually get really good cell reception in town! *yippee!* Too bad I have to drive to 10 minutes to get good cell reception. Oh well!...LOL!!! After getting some things done, I decided to hike the Fishhook Creek Trail just off the main Redfish Trailhead. I've wanted to do some exploring for quite some time, but I've never made it a priority...but today it happened. It was about 8 o'clock this evening, so the sun was starting to sink into the mountains and it made for an absolutely gorgeous hike into the mountains and along side Fishhook Creek! Still no pics with me in them, but I got some incredible scenery shots! Too breathtaking for words, some of them!!
