oof, I am not so good at being aware of and respecting my body’s limits. But thanks to cub scout and dad that I met on the trail for allowing me to realize how colossally dumb I was being
#the number one rule of hiking is don't go alone#the number two rule of hiking is tell someone where you're going#(especially important if you ignored rule 1)#adjacent to that rule is the rule of "make a plan of where you're going'#&/or make a record of where you've been if there are no trail markers#the third rule of hiking is to BRING WATER and also supplies/snacks#the optional but highly recommended rule of hiking is not to wear denim#so i broke all the rules today (dumb dumb DUMB of me!!!)#in my defense i didn't expect this to be a full on trail with splits and switchbacks#i was expecting a nature walk along the water#but yeah. did not realize how very easy it is to become a cautionary tale#(if i had actually gotten in peril it's not that hard for someone to find me��i'm not on the appalachian trail or anything)#(and there are not major predators capable of harming me in the area)#but my own body is capable of things like giving me migraines or (theoretically) making me pass out if i ignore caloric needs#so. um. cub scout and dad did me a bigger favor than they knew by being smart and taking pictures of forks in the trail#but on the bright side i recognized my own mortality and learned about a lot of new plants?
