Lameshur Bay Trail

Early on the hike before the hills!
Two tired girls at the top.

Off we went today to hike the Lameshur Bay Trail to see the petroglyph's. It was a balmy 84 degrees with slight breeze. We went with our friends the Sutton's. The Sutton's have a 6yr old boy, a 5 yr old girl and a 2 year old boy. All 7 of us hiked the 2.1 miles to the petroglyph's and then 2.1 miles back. We started pretty close to sea level and climbed to 467 feet then down to sea level to see the petroglyph's. The pertoglyph's are rock carvings that "were created by the pre-Colombian inhabitants of St. John known as the Taino". The carvings line a freshwater pool surrounded by smooth rocks. Of course one of the children had to fall into the pool. I will not say which child! We had a snack on the rocks, did some mongoose spotting, then it was 2.1 miles back up 467 feet so we could descend down to the car. For walking 4.2 miles the kids did awesome! At one point the 2 year old fell asleep on his moms shoulders. She probably carried him 1/2 mile at least! After that hike we can do anything!
