Mountain Biking-Mt St Helens

Justin & I were so busy with wedding preparations at the beginning of the summer, and after that special day in May, we were ready to go go go with activities for summer fun. One adventure we embarked on was camping & mountain biking at Mt St Helen's. We knew this would be more adventurous than our usual more flat, desert biking, but we had no idea just how intense this riding would be! The bike path was less than 2 feet wide with STEEP edges to either side of us. If something were to go wrong, broken bones would be the minimum result of sliding off the edge! The heat became very intense as the 1980's eruption of Mt St Helens took out the forest that used to surround it. Next time, we'll bring more water and lunch so we can do the full 30 mi loop rather than the short out & back that we did bike (but took a long time because of challenging terrain).

Scrapwhispers Challenge #101 provided a great color scheme to use for my "On the Edge" layout, and I used old sketch from Inspired Blueprints (Sketch #10). Sadly, IB has temporarily closed their website. The owner said she is taking a break, but the goodbye is not permanent.
