Our Adventures Through City and Backcountry
First hike: ✔️ And what a great one it was. Perfect for the first hike of RTXXII. We’ve always made room in our spring schedule to get some hiking training in. We were too busy this spring with each weekend filled with previous commitments or covid. Yep, we all got it. We had done such […]
Read More Day 3: San Juan National ForestToday we went on a hike. I did not find it very enjoyable there was to much up and then right back down. Also I have to have peanut butter and jelly sandwich it was so gross. I very glad it did not throw up. After the hike i was very hot and sweaty. I […]
