| no partners | | My fellow Girl Scouts and I completed this route of trails as kind of a last hurrah together before we all graduated and went our separate ways. The trail was quite the adventure  It was my first real serious backpacking experience and I learned a lot about myself, my friends, and how to be a backpacker. We saw lots of wildlife (alive and dead), signs of illegal aliens, and ruins... and I don't want to forget the beautiful scenery! During this trip I used mole skin for the first time. No one had instructed me on how to take the stuff off, so at one particular spot we stopped for a break and I was going to change my socks since we had been hiking most of the day and they were quite damp. Earlier in the day I had applied mole skin to a particular spot that was beginning to bother me. So anyway, I went to change my socks and decided to change the mole skin too... big mistake! I ended up ripping off a chunk of skin about a quarter of an inch thick! After the bleeding stopped, my scouts and leader decided it was probably best if we called our Search & Rescue guy to come pick me up. I had come this far and really didn't want to stop, so I convinced the Search & Rescue guy to take my pack and meet us at our camp spot later that evening. Hopefully by then I'd feel I was still able to hike... and I was. After that I learned how to use mole skin properly  Despite that one event, we had a great time and I would love to complete this hike again someday. |
