mrlichJust to quick jot down some thoughts about the weekend before I get too far removed from it:
Friday:
*Left late. Really late by comparison to the plan. We intended to leave town at 4pm. We didn't leave until after 7pm. The good news is that I got to pick up my new prescription glasses for the weekend. Score.
*Arrived well after dark. Had an interesting time setting up camp. We haven't set up camp in a long while - let alone in the dark. Managed though - we got skillz.
Saturday:
*This was the long hike (14 miles? 16?). It was hot. I ran out of water. Twice. Beautiful trail and countryside.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lotusanddragon and I got some good bullshit time in. Found the trail 'not so remote' (despite his coworker's warning).
*Picked the Best Campsite Evar™ and set camp. Lerved it there. Could have spent the whole weekend at that site and not been even a little upset.
Sunday:
*Slow start to the day. We enjoyed a leasurely breakfast and playing with the fire despite the damp terrain/wood/everything from the rain the night before. (We stayed blessedly dry in the tent.)
*Since we got such a late start (though we weren't upset by that) we decided to do a shorter hike - a little over 4miles in a loop (there were limited options for short - let alone short loop.)
*We found ourselves off the trail (gee - that never happens... /end sarcasm). Found a stream where we did some splashing about, then got back to the trail.
*Heavy storm rolled in while we were doing the last 1/3 to 1/2 of the loop. Soaked everything through pretty good - which I found thoroughly invigorating.
Pics and stuff later when I get them offlotusanddragon 's camera and my phone and get them uploaded.
Theme for the weekend? Ticks. Lots and lots of ticks.
Had a great time and looking forward to next month's trip!
