We did what was probably our last hike of the season today....and it was a bit harder than we thought it would be. After Mickey and Minnie had run 13.4 miles yesterday....and Billy and JJ stayed up too late last night, none of us were at the top of his game (well, maybe Mickey was...but when is he not?) However, everyone soldiered on to the top of the mountain because #1) we had skittles in our trail mix and #2) that is just how we roll!
Despite JJ saying, "I am so tired, I keep imagining things" (Like rocks on the side of the hike being his bed) and Billy drinking all of our water in the first 10 minutes of the hike, it ended up being pretty enjoyable after all.
The reasons why....
#1) A random lady at the top of the mountain who recognized JJ's Kenyon sweatpants and declared out of the blue that..."Kenyon swimmers are the studs of the world" #2) Mickey made our trail mix for the first time ever and in his ever thoughtful way, included something for everyone....skittles for JJ, sunflower seeds for Billy, dried pineapple for Minnie, and a bunch of healthy stuff for himself #3) for our entertainment.....The Peeing Choir!!!! They are shown above as a trio....but we were also treated to a few solo performances as well all throughout the trip!
