So I went backpacking over the weekend. I never thought I’d
see the day, but I guess when you meet someone that means enough to you…you
indulge in what makes THEM happy.
I won’t lie, I had FUN. No shower, no proper bathroom,
freeze-dried food (WHAT?!), sleeping on the ground and a lot of dirt.
I am now in love with Lake Placid and as we
left the Adirondack region I just kept asking myself, why? Why must I leave? I
want to stay and play forever.
Our little journey consisted of a little over 13 miles of
backpacking/hiking/exploring. What a freaking workout. I think I had 25-30
pounds on my back and the rocky paths were no joke.
It was nice to unplug for two-ish days and enjoy good
company in the beauty that is nature. I know that we will be planning another
trip and probably soon. As soon as we left ADK Lodge Nick asked if I wanted to
go again THIS WEEKEND. I giggled and kindly declined. I need a nice weekend to
relax in Roch!
