Friday evening I took Kade hiking up Dry Canyon. It was fun to spend time with my boy. I also wanted to see how he'd do hiking and check out a camping spot.
Typical boy mosey along.
The hike was a little over a mile and he did fine.
At the meadow we found this cool hut. (Actually I'd seen it a few years ago since the 051 trail passes by 30 yards away.)
Kade with the requisite walking stick / weapon. Nice and green, it's like a lawn. Snowy Timp makes a nice backdrop.
I wanted to get down before dark, Kade didn't have the same sense of urgency.
He's a little nervous about camping but we're going to try it out next Friday.
Android Sunrise / Sunset Apps
On the hike up I watched the sinking sun and wondered how much daylight we had to complete the hike. I thought for sure I had this info somewhere on my Android phone, but I couldn't find it. So when I got home I installed these two apps:
Sundroid - Clean and simple, just what I needed.
Daytime Widget - Dawn, sunrise, sunset and dusk at a glance. And a big countdown to/from the closest event. I liked it so much I put it on my home screen.
