A visit with an old friend

Last year when we took Jackson's ashes to Graveyard Fields, we promised to come back and visit him in the spring. And we did! We found his tree and the tent stake we used to carve his "J" and did a bit more carving so it would stay there forever. The boys kept saying "I miss my Jackson and want to take him home with us." Very sweet!

The tree has actually been damaged somehow and the middle portion either looks like it been struck by lightning or blown down in a storm. But, the J remains!


Last time we only hiked to his tree and back out, but this time we hiked all the way to the Upper Falls, which is 1.5 miles in and 1.5 miles out. The boys did great on the way in...but Todd and I took turns carrying them on the way out! Needless to say we were tired!!
