hiking trails on the west coast: Begin climbing on a soft earthen trail through beautiful douglas fir-western hemlock forest for 2.5 miles along a series of switchbacks, then break from the tree cover for 1 mile of straight even trail through a stunning wildflower meadow just below the ridgeline, after which the trail makes a sharp right and continues to the summit with a further 2 miles of switchbacks. Enjoy beautiful views of the nearest dormant stratovolcano and also at least two waterfalls and a crystal-clear alpine lake along the way. Round trip: 11 miles, 3,000ft elevation gain. Difficulty: moderate :)

hiking trails on the east coast: Go 1.5 miles up. Yes, straight up. Switchbacks? What are you, a baby? Are you a little child? Fuck you. Go up. [Seasonal note: first half of trail is a running stream during mud season and a multipitch ice climbing route during winter.] Round trip: 3 miles, 1,200ft elevation gain. Difficulty: jesus christ

Anitával nekivágtunk az Orla Perć-nek, ami mindig is a legnagyobb kihívások között szerepelt, és sikerült teljesíteni. Nagyon büszke vagyok rá, hogy belevágtunk, és hogy ezt meg tudtuk csinálni. Ez az útvonal tényleg a Magas-Tátra egyik legnehezebb része, tele van technikai kihívásokkal, de a táj és az élmény minden erőfeszítést megért.

Időtartam: 10 óra 33 perc 25 másodperc

Táv: 15,12 km

Összes kalória: 2341 kcal

Emelkedés: 1049 m

Átlagos pulzusszám: 119 BPM

Erőfeszítés szintje: 7 - Nehéz

Az útvonal a Zawrat-hágónál kezdődött, ahol az egyirányú ösvényen haladtunk tovább. Első komolyabb állomásunk a Mały Kozi Wierch volt, majd innen a Zmarzła Przełęcz Wyżnia és a Zmarzła Przełęcz szakaszokra jutottunk. Ezek a részek már komoly technikai kihívást jelentettek, láncokkal és meredek lejtőkkel, ahol minden lépésre figyelni kellett. Jómagam csak a sziklán, soha meg nem érintve a láncot.

A következő pont a Kozia Przełęcz volt, ahonnan már a Kozi Wierch felé vettük az irányt. Ez lett a túránk legmagasabb pontja.

A Kozi Wierch után még továbbmentünk a Skrajny Granat-ig, ahol úgy döntöttünk, hogy lezárjuk a túránkat. Innen ereszkedtünk le az Öt Lengyel-tó völgyébe, ami szintén kihívásokkal teli szakasz volt, de végül épségben és élményekkel telve értünk le.

Yall wanna hear a kinda funny, kinda sad story about my grandmother and hetero-normativity?

Ok, so... when my grandmother was in her 50s (I was an infant), she met a woman at the Unitarian Church. And, as can happen when you meet your soul mate, this event made it impossible for her to deny parts of herself that she had fiercely hidden her whole life.

All the drama- their affair being found out, the divorce with my grandfather, the court battle over who got the house, happened while I was a baby. Even in my earliest memories, it's just Mama Jo and Oma, and my grandfather lived elsewhere (first his own apartment, then a nursing home, then with us.)

But here's the thing- no one ever explained any of this to me. No one ever sat down and was like "hey, Rosie, so do you know what a lesbian is?" It was the 90s. It was Texas. I think my mom was still kinda processing all this, and just assumed that like... I was gonna figure it out. Don't mention it, let it just be normal. Like I think my mom thought that if she explained the situation, she would be making it weird? I dunno.

But like. In the 90s, in all the movies I had seen and books I had read, do you know how many same sex couples I had seen? Like. 0. Do you know how many "platonic best friend/roommates" I had seen? A lot. I had no context, is what I'm saying.

I literally thought this was a Golden Girls, roommates, besties situation until I was like...I dunno, 11? 12?

It was actually their parrot, an African Grey named Spike, imitating my grandmothers voice saying "Johanna, honey, it's getting late", that triggered the MIND BLOWN moment as I realized that *there's only one master bedroom and it only has 1 waterbed* when all the pieces finally clicked.

Anyway. I think it's a real important thing for kids to know queer people exist, for a lot of reasons, but also because kids can be clueless and it's embarrassing to have your grandmother be outted by a parrot because everyone just thought you'd figure it out on your own.

Anyway, here is my grandma and her wife, my Oma, after they moved to Albuquerque to be artsy gay cowboys and live their best life. They helped run a "Lesbian Dude Ranch" out there (basically just with funding and financial support. As Oma has explained "traditionally, most lesbians don't have a lot of money" so they wrote the checks and let the younger ladies actually run the ranch.)
