Hiking!

Now that I have some free time, I have started doing some of the things that I enjoy again. For instance, some friends and I went hiking in Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park the other day. It was a long hike (around 6 miles) where with a lot of elevation shifts. It was lots of fun, but I was really glad that I was wearing my water friendly Keens that day, as the trial took us across the river that runs through the park twice. At the first crossing there wasn't even a bridge, so I had to ford the river. It was a lot easier for me, since my shoes were made for water. My friends all had to take off their shoes for the first crossing. Luckily on the second crossing there was a narrow log that they could use to get across. I didn't bother with the log and just walked across the river. It was quite a beautiful hike, even though I was really tired by the end of it. I hope to get some more hiking done while I am still jobless.
