I hiked up Mount Monadnock today! It was my first hike EVER and we happened to pick the toughest trail to the summit of Mt. Monadnock. It was more of rock climbing than hiking. It was a steep incline with mostly going over rocks. It took about an hour and a half to get to the top, stayed there for 30, and started down. Going down was tough. There was a lot of butt sliding, trying to wear down my gool ol’ cheapo Old Navy’s.

At least now I understand the whole, the-view-is-worth-it thing. Maybe it was all the huffing and puffing, or all the adrenalin, but it was pretty amazing up there. Two of my friends said they might’ve seen Boston or Worcester, they weren’t sure.

Up the summit, we met and chatted with the only two dudes who hiked up on such a windy day. I had some of their beef jerky and they had some of our chocolate chip cookies.

Pictures will be up soon.
