RIDE OR DIE ⚡️
WATERSPRITE ANNIVERSARY TRIP ⛈️
18.21KM ~ 719M
This weekend Tara and I ventured out for our 3rd year anniversary backpack up to Watersprite. The weather forecasted heavy rain for the Thursday and Friday and we had two nights booked. Poor Tara gave me the easy out a couple days before but I was optimistic the rain would hold out for us. Boy was I wrong 😢 We got up there just in time to beat the rain but eventually had to setup and try to cook our dinner in a freaking windstorm. My tent almost blew away. Then Shaggy and I barely slept hanging on to each other wondering if we were going to survive the night.
We woke on the Friday already deciding we were only going to spend one night up there. The morning cleared up for a couple minute quick view of the beauty of the place to a quick scramble to the bottom in heavy rain. We took bets on how many people we would see on the way up and we saw one camp host coming up who rode up on a motorcycle and a couple who were more daring than us because they were about to venture up on the Friday in the middle of all the heavy rain. I felt kind of crazy until seeing more die hard backpackers wanting one last trip for the season. I don’t blame anyone for wanting to get out there ☝🏼🥾⛺️
