Mela and I decided we were going to have a productive day in the library so we got all settled in to the HBLL when one of our friends called and ask us to go hiking. Library or hiking? Which one do you think won? Yep hiking. Hiking- as in the middle of January up in the mountains hiking. But we decided why not? So the 5 of us traveled up to Vivian Park where our friend Kade picked a mountain and we were going to conquer it. No trail. The hike wasn't all that bad except we were in heavy rain boots, poor decision. There was no snow but the wind was blowing so hard it was semi-miserable. We were freezing, like literally we could not smile because our faces were frozen ( as you can see). Like girls Mela and I wore 5 layers on top and bottom, including full snow gear. The guys- they wore jeans and a hoodie. They didn't even have gloves or hats, luckily we brought extras.
Once we got down it was necessary to finish off with a fire
And hot dogs with chili (cooked right in the can)
We got some skilled boyscouts. But thanks to Kade and Craig for a great adventure. Best MLK holiday. ever.
So goal of the week: I am going to post everyday about things that I have been up to so keep reading and please be patient with me. I will get back into habit.
