Hiking with the kids

I took the kids on what turned out to be a 4.5 mile hike today.  We visited Third Reservoir and Breakneck Pond.  Start point is here.

Camp Wakonda on Breakneck Pond.  I was a little worried we might run into some homeless people, as the camp is obviously not is session right now:

The kids had a great time, and I was pleasantly surprised to see that the kids could walk that far.  We were out for about 3 hours.
