(Half Moon Hike 6.14.08)
We have been on several hikes that have not been blogged. Mostly this is because they were long and humid, non-eventful, or lack pictures. Some of our hiking is to: 1. Keep in shape (weight management for summer sweets) 2. Teach me about the garmin & directions 3. Practice First Aid. The THIRD reason is not pre-planned, but is decided by the course of events. :) This leads to me to my latest personal hike: Raven Rocks. I completely wiped out!
We do this hike on a regular basis, SO there are usually no surprises and one should be able do it by "oneself." Obviously that "Oneself" is going to be a bit more careful in the future and will ALWAYS carry a First Aid Kit (w/o complaining). Rick has good "suggestions" of what to carry in a pack for hiking, but I have taken it lightly at times and instead filled it with comments from the "Peanut Gallery." Times have changed. ( Below Raven Rocks 6.08, 2-3x month hike)

I have concluded that what Rick recommends to bring, for an 'outdoor' activity, I go along with and I know that at some point it will be beneficial. My husband, I have dubbed, "The Boy Scout." Enjoy the pictures from our different hikes. (I did not add the pictures from my wipeout, but just know the scabs are healing well and the bruising is minimal!)
