Rosie and I had to leave our lovely little cabin to hike a minimum of 13 miles. It was a mentally and physically tough day. Truth be told, I may have said "I'm not so sure I like hiking" at lunch today. We both cracked up after I said that, because here we are in the middle of the woods on a grand hiking adventure. This comment did spark a game called "way better than hiking." Here are our favorites:
- Floating Greenlake with an adult beverage... Way better than hiking.
- Not pooping in a hole... Way better than hiking.
- Storing food in your kitchen, rather than a tree... Way better than hiking.
- Not cooking and cleaning your socks in the same container... Way better than hiking.
Merit Badges:
- Hiking in a thunderstorm.
- Killing multiple mosquitoes with one swat.
- Overuse of deet and ibuprofen.
Hike Highlights:
- Thinking a day hiker's dog was a wolf, and realizing my natural reaction to an immanent animal tack is frozen surrendered.
- Getting passed by Rolf from Switzerland for the second time... after he took a three day vacation.
- Eating dinner on a large rock in a lake
I hope you have moleskin or blister packs for your feet. Those are gonna burst.
ReplyDeleteThey haven't yet, but I'll let you all know when they do. I'm hoping it isn't too painful. :)
