Yesterday I climbed my very first mountain, Mt. Monadnock in Jaffery, NH. It was AWESOME! Okay, some parts I thought I was going to trip on a rock and break my leg, fall backwards off a cliff face, or pass out from sheer exhaustion. But I would do it again in a heartbeat.
But the views were great. We took a longer path up, and were under the trees for the hotter part of the day. Just as we were starting to get tired, the views started getting better.
Up at the top is was so beautiful. We had to crawl up over rocks to get there, but it was worth it! Dan ate a sandwich, which he called "the best sandwich of my life." I was so tired and I didn't want to eat anything. I drank gatorade and had red peppers.
The way down we took the White Cross Trail, and I'm REALLY happy that we didn't take that up. I think that the path we chose was the best choice.
Did you have a good weekend?
Hehehe, well done! reading your post brought back a lot of memories from when I climbed my first mountain ever (with school)- mount Snowdon :P xxx
ReplyDeleteYou really need to shave your legs ........oh wait ....the hairy legs are probably Dan's. ;-)
ReplyDeleteGlad you had fun on your hike.
We did "flatland" hiking today, but man .....it was HOT and humid!
Allyson What an AWESOME post. I know that hunger and best sandwich ever feeling. I had it last kayaking down an icy river on New years day years ago in the Happy canoeyear paddle.
