We've put a lot of land under our feet in the last 2 days, but we may need to slow our pace a bit. The children are driving Steve and I nuts! They get so restless, and the travel wears us out something chronic. Being on the constant look out for all sorts of dangers uses up so much precious energy.
At least we've found a nice spot to bed down for the night. It's on a slight rise, so we're able to see a fair distance away. Over the next few days, we'll be going over mountain terrain. It can get tricky as the horses don't care for some of the more narrow paths, and the engines don't always give quite enough power to get to the top of some of the steep ridges. Not to mention the predators seem to be larger in the hill country. But all of that is worth the sight of the ocean from the top. When the sun is setting and it seems like the end of the world is bathed in a fiery orange glow, it takes your breath away.
If these children don't stop bickering and pestering me every 5 seconds, though, I'm not sure I'll survive much more of this trip!
