A few weeks ago, my friends wanted to go on this crucial nature weekend.
The people I was with and I decided to take a road trip a few hours outside of the city to go for a hike.
Some of my friends are athletic & prefer to work out, but I am not really into working out. I prefer to take walks, but they are usually about 2 miles long & on flat city streets. One of my more outdoorsy friends led the charge for this road trip & she picked out the hike. It turns out, she chose a hike that took us all the way up a mountain. It was about 4 miles just to get to the top. The hike took us almost 6 hours total. The summit was lovely, but I hated just about every other fifth. I was so moderate & I didn’t have enough food & water. My legs were in so much pain & I couldn’t keep up with the group. After the hike, all of us stopped into this local diner for a bite to eat. The diner had the most amazing air conditioner ever. I was about to pass out from heat exhaustion, & this diner’s air conditioner brought myself and others back to life. They had a ductless mini split, & all of us just happened to be standing right beside the mounted wall unit. The cool air was coming right at us. They also had ceiling fans that kept the cool air circulating throughout the diner.
