 Our Craigs Creek lunch spot. (The Daily Triplicate/Richard Wiens)
As Craigs Creek Trail heats up, trees provide more than scenery on trip to creek-river confluence
A challenging hike through varied landscape?
Check.
Great views of the South Fork of the Smith River?
Check.
A scenic, secluded swimming hole/picnic spot at the turnaround point?
Check.
Adequate preparation for the inland heat?
Uhh, maybe Laura and I have spent too much of our Del Norte time
with sand between our toes. Because only after hiking Craigs Creek last
Saturday do we have a proper appreciation of just how hot it can get a
few miles east of our cool coastal climate when walking long uphill
stretches.

To enter the contest, applicants had to submit a video of themselves and their typical activities throughout the day and state why they'd like to be a "Toy Tester" for Banzai Toys.
Out of hundreds of entries, Daniel was chosen as one of five finalists and invited with the finalists to come to a "Toy Testing" Backyard Party at a mansion in Woodland Hills in Southern California, where many Banzai inflatable slides and pool toys were set up for the kids to try out. They were allowed to bring their families with them.
The overall winner of the contest was Madison Lewandowski, who was chosen to get paid for her time testing the toys. The other finalists still enjoyed the party and received free Banzai skim boards and water guns.
