Hike #2,354. Nah, I exaggerate. I have been doing a ton amount of hiking lately, though. If I'm ever missing, look for me on the way up to some mountain, dry heaving. Or maybe on the way down, falling from having tripped on my own feet.

My friend Tiffany, little Benson, and I braved the heat and hiked up Arroyo Seco. It actually wasn't bad considering it was cloudy a part of the way up and shady on most parts. I've been through hotter hikes which makes me wonder why I do such things to myself. The trails are shared with mountain bikers and with some being narrow, I'd panic a little when I would hear one coming, but they'd always warn us when there was another trailing behind them. At some point, we stopped to rest amidst some tall grass and we startled a guy. He fell off his bike, but he was a trooper about it despite the bruised ego. Everyone was polite and friendly nonetheless.

I've never gone mountain biking, but like so many other things, I'd like to try it sometime.

shout-outs

i'd like to give a shout out to all one of you that actually reads my blog.
you know how much we both love camping–literally, figuratively, metaphorically, all figures-of-speech-ly... : )

i also want to give a shout-out to lynn who gifted me with this along with all the
other kinds of chocolate things and gummy things and other candy things. it makes my day!

 

p.s. that's my shadow, not bacon grease.

get in ma belleh!

as someone who doesn't do very much cooking and/or baking, i love that i have friends that do. it's a gift.
i always feel so spoiled when i get invited over for dinner or participate in a food social or given a package of cookies to take home... and it's not just the food that's good, but it's also their company that makes everything that much better.
