Some friends invited me on a short beach hike this weekend now that they figured I am somewhat in shape from running and cycling. However, they totally redefined hiking for me. Because when I think of hiking, I'm thinking walking along a dirt trail. Well, this was more like rock climbing! First we had to descend the side of a cliff, then take a path for part way, and then climb over a bunch of rocks. And getting up the cliff again was even harder.
My hiking sandals proved to be pretty good though, since even when wet they had decent grip. I nearly slipped a few times but I think that was mostly due to my ankles not being 100% yet (I sprained them both about 8 weeks ago).
Overall it was a good workout and pretty cool! I'm thinking about trying the same trail again in a couple weeks and bringing a camera along next time. I could have kicked myself for forgetting the camera!

I vowed the last hike I did in girl scouts was the last hike I was ever going to do.

Snow camp!? Yikes. Here in Northern Va, everything closes when they forcast a inch of snow. There is no way my mom would let me go to snow camp.

Here we don't get snow, so we went up north to go to a snow camp. The bus was on the news because the driver didn't know how to put chains on and we were on the edge of a mountain. And then the power was out quite a bit. We hiked through the snow a few times. Which now might have been fun, but then it was really not. The camp burned down a year or two after we went there.
