Today was a hike rated moderate. The hike was the Aster waterfall and the Aster Overlook at Two Medicine. We arrived early to get the all important parking place. HHR: Hold on here, Debbie, just what did this trail involve.?
Jerry: I can take that question. Well, it went through an area where moose like to roam and had beaver ponds. It, of course, had a waterfall that we always look for.
HHR: What made it moderate?
Joyce: Well it started out flat and kept going up. It had switchbacks, rocks and roots?
HHR: Rocks and root? What is the big deal with that?
Larry: It is Debbie’s kryptonite. Roots and rocks.
HHR: Roots and rocks? Really? How difficult can that be?
Debbie: Okay, okay – I always said that I would trip over roots and rocks and I did so there.
HHR: Oh no, did you fall? I am shocked that someone like you would fall.
Larry: Joyce and I were behind her and saw her slowly go down on her hands and knees. I think that she may have said some inappropriate words.
Joyce: We got her up and dusted her off. She was fine.
Larry: I told her to pick up her feet and I think she might have said some more inappropriate words.
Debbie: I thank you for your concern, HHR, but sense some skepticism. We did go all the way to the end of the trail. It was a hard trail.
Larry: After we got in the car, we saw two moose.
Joyce: One moose ran to the lake right by a man that didn’t even know that the moose was there until the moose ran by.
HHR: Do you think that Debbie’s fall and the noise she made upset the environmental balance at Two Medicines?
Debbie: No but I would like to suggest that the HHR take a hike.
