My hubby could be the official spokesperson for Reno-Tahoe, America’s Adventure Place. The man knows how to take a simple, easy and enjoyable hike and bump it up a notch so that it is truly an adventure.

On Sunday, we went hiking at Silver Saddle Ranch, which is on the Eastern edge of Carson City. There were wildflowers in bloom everywhere. (Too bad I’ve lost my camera!) We hiked for about 45 minutes on the trail, where it ended. Normally, we just turn around at this point, but the hubby decided he wanted to make a loop.

The trail doesn’t loop, so this meant we got the ‘pleasure’ of creating our own loop — going off the trail. At first it wasn’t so bad, but next thing I knew, we were walking on a steep slope over rocks and sage and I was slipping and sliding the entire way.

I think the hubby is part mountain goat, as he didn’t seem to have any problems, and left me in his dust.

When we finally made it back to our vehicle, I scolded him, saying, ‘can’t you ever just stay on a trail’?

‘And what would be the adventure in that?’ He replied.
