A Hiking We Will Go

Enjoying the view along the power lines.

Dad, Me, Kendrah


This past weekend Dad, Kendrah, myself, and a family friend set out to hike 6 miles of the Knobstone trail one afternoon. We made it!
Dad and I started earlier in the year hiking parts of the Knobstone Trail and other trails around the area. We have a long ways to go before we conquer the entire KT trail. So far we've covered about 14 miles. We've hiked one part twice so it can't count towards the total. I wish I'd kept track of the total miles hiked. It's not an impressive amount by any means!
There are two things I've learned from our experiences-- I need to invest in quality hiking boots. I need to get into shape. Dude-those hills are tough! Also don't forget your poncho! Rain likes to visit our hikes! Thankfully we only got caught in one less than enjoyable down-pouring--including thunder and lighting! I'd post pictures of the other hikes but can't seem to find them at the moment! Anyhow, next maybe I'll post some from the caving adventure!
