A few weekends ago my roommates and I decided we wanted to go on a hike. I made sure I got all my homework done earlier that week so I could afford to not spend Saturday at the library (a new past time of mine.)
After a nice drive by the mountains and through some pretty humorous towns we finally found the trail and this is what it looked like. I think it was closed for the season. Weird. My outfit is pretty great, huh? I am so smart.
So that was our hike. Some might call it a failure. Well it wasn't. It was an adventure complete with a Michael Buble CD that was played probably 4 times in a row. (Poor Dan) Getting lost. Stopping for pizza in a little town. Watching Dan spend 3 minutes ordering his chocolate milk to perfection. Looking at the beautiful scenery. Freezing when we got out for pictures. Laughing at my roommates making slush angels. Laughing at my ridiculous outfit.
We left for the hike about one in the afternoon. It was a beautiful, sunny day so I put on my shorts and Chacos. (Ever since Jerusalem I use any excuse I can find to wear these.) I had my frozen watter bottle and snacks all ready. We started the drive to the mountains and about half way there I realized, "Hey there's white stuff on the mountains." I started doubting my Chacos decision. A little later it started raining. That's when I doubted my shorts decision. Then we were next to the mountains and they were under a white blanket. That's when I started wondering what on earth I had been thinking that morning. My conclusion? I wasn't.
Well we got a little lost trying to find the hiking trail, but we passed beautiful scenery and ended up in Wyoming. These are my awesome roommates Danielle (on the left) and Tia (in the middle.) Not pictured is Dan the lucky boy who got to join us on our excursion.

Chacos!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat's what you get for living in Idaho. Boo Idaho!
ReplyDeleteThat is great, Beck. You would think close to the month of June that you would be safe to attempt such a fun excursion! Oh well. Better luck in a few months! :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like an awesome Idaho adventure! Sorry you didn't get the exercise/outdoor excursion you were expecting, but I think it will be more memorable this way. :) It reminds me of when Chrissy and I went to lay out on the beach here in January. We kept pretending we weren't cold but finally gave in and went home. Haha!
