Greetings blog readers! (By this, of course, I mean, "Hi Mom!") For those of you who are actually reading this who may not have heard me yammering in the past couple weeks, I have concocted this marginally insane plan to complete all 50 hikes in "The Day Hiker's Guide to Sun Valley & Ketchum" by Scott Marchant before I leave town on Aug 17th. If you don't know off hand which book this is, allow me to show you...
This all started because I am getting ready to move back to WA to go to grad school, and I realized that there are approximately 100 billion things I was planning to do while I lived in Idaho. I've managed to accomplish about three. I can snowboard, albeit badly, I've been whitewater rafting, and I have camped a couple times. This does not scratch the surface of my adventuring plans, and I have less than two months to accomplish all of the things. To that end, I have set a goal. I figure that there is no way I am going to manage to do ALL of the exciting things I had planned, so I'm focusing in on one major accomplishment. 50 hikes within 30 miles of town, plus Baldy at the end. I want you all to know that I began this goal with 46 days left in town and 4 hikes already done, so I'm basically nuts, but that's pretty much how I live my life anyway.
I'm putting it all in photo-blog form mostly because I think I'm a lot more clever than I actually am. Also, my Mom likes pictures. Also, I'm trying to convince my friends that I'm having SO MUCH FUN they should join me so that I don't have to do them all alone. Also, maybe I'll inspire some peeps to go check out some trails this summer.:)
Because I procrastinate like a champ, I am already a ways into this before managing to get the blog up, so I'm just going to catch y’all up real quick.
Enjoy!
