I step out of the car onto the dusty, rocky road. I see the dark highway behind me, tall flat trees, and tiny ants crawling quickly around we start our way up the trail. It is a little steep and is very rocky and rooty. I spot big, reddish-gray boulders; smooth strawberry-guava trees, and awesome spotted monarch ferns. At the top I could see the entire east side of the island and the mountains were drenched in rain. Big clouds were pouring down on them. We listened to Josh's favorite song for the day that he passed away. On the way down I carried Nora in the ergo. It started to rain, then it poured. Nora loved it. She gathered the drops on her short, stubby, tongue. It was a little slippery going down. I loved this hike just as much as Mount Saint Helens.
