| - If I did it, you can do it! (Blah, blah, blah)
Okay, but really....I'm not one of those cool people that hikes as a hobbie, or ever, but I did manage to make my way to the top of this mountain to behold the magnificent view that everyone boasts about, and I'm damn proud to have survived to Yelp about it.
Maaaybe it took me an hour (or two) to finish and maaaybe I took a few breaks in between to soak in the view (i.e. prevent myself from throwing up) but I did it and that's what matters, right? :)
In truth it's not that bad, but being the complete opposite of an avid hiker, I don't think I was nearly as hydrated or nourished as I should have been to take on this venture. Luckily I was not alone, and it was fun bantering with the friendly people along the way that appeared to be having the same issue. Granted there were also a fair share of scantily clad, mega in shape passers-by quickly jolting to and fro, and I did get a few hmmm glances from them, but that was only until I learned the rule of the mountain (which by the way, didn't take long) and that was to GET OUT OF THE WAY!
Remember that simple notion, throw on some nice grippy shoes and one of those groovy camelbaks that the real hikers are toting around, and be on your way. You'll feel really good about yourself, after.
