Yesterday dad,Rowan and I went up verstovia.
It was a warm sunny day, we got to the trail head about 10:45 we got out of the car and started up the trail. I started up the trail in front of dad and Rowan. Dad said I could go and wait for them at the first view point. I went on ahead of them, and waited for them at the first view point.
When I got to the first view point I was dripping sweat, so I took my camera and stuff off, and took off my long sleeve shirt as that I only had a short sleeve short on. by the I had gotten off my long sleeve shirt, and had stored it in my pack, and all my stuff back on dad and Rowan were getting to the first view point. They took a short break then we continued on up the trail.
Between the first and second view point I stayed closer to dad and Rowan. I would hike in front of them for a little ways then I would stop, and wait until I could see them again, then I would get up, and start hiking again. It took me about the same amount of time to get to the second view point as it did for me to get to the first view point.
I got to the second view point and sat down on a bench, dad and Rowan got there shortly after that. We sat there and rested, then talked to a couple of people for a little while, and started up the trail a bit later.
It took us about an hour and forty five minutes to get to picnic rock from the trail head, and an hour and a half of that was spent hiking. So I thought we made it up there in good time. We sat down and ate lunch on picnic rock. Just after I was done eating lunch a few more people came up, I listened to dad talk for a while then I got up and looked around a little bit. While I was looking around I saw a flycatcher in the top of a tree a little ways away. I took some photos and told dad about it. We watched it for more then hour, and tried to get good photos of it. After we had been up there for about three hours we headed down. It took us about an hour and a half to get back to the trail head.
Once we got home I looked at my photos of the flycatcher and decided that it was most likely a western wood-pewee.
