Nitty~Gritty

random thoughts about my life

Our hiking club met tonight at the hospital. There were 100 hikers in the auditorium for our monthly motivational get together. It’s always motivating to size up the competition. We swap stories about where we’ve hiked and what time of the day we choose to do it. There are two types of hikers; the ones that go early trying to beat the suns wrath and the hikers that let the moon guide them. The moon walkers are usually free spirits who aren’t afraid of the dark and what comes with it while the sun fighters are reserved, older, and organized. There’s an unspoken rivalry between the morning walkers and nightwalkers. We don’t think the morning walkers should be in our hiking club. Call it childish but I don’t think walking in the mall wearing spandex counts as a hike. Some of them consider a walk to the mailbox a hike so as you can see there’s some tension. I’m sure they hate us just as much, thinking we lack responsibility and we’re all vegetarians but they’re just jealous that we can see the trails at night. I’m jealous because they can afford all the cool equipment. The funny part about this hiking club is how it’s advertised, free.

i remembered hiking in the mountain at 12 midnight once during camp, it was so scary thinking there might be ghosts or snakes around. But when we got to the top and saw the gorgeous sky, we just couldn't wait to do it again
