Valentine's Day Hike 2010

I scrap out of order. I do whatever I feel like doing at the time, which sometimes means I need to go back and wrap up a section. I had a goal of getting all of my layouts from 2010 wrapped up by the end of 2013 and I made it! The next several layouts will be from 2010. This one is our Valentine hike at Bull Creek.
