Back East Backpacking

September 19th, 2011 · 6 Comments

Next week Dale, Karen and I are going backpacking in the east somewhere, probably western Pennsylvania. We should be gone 4 days/3 nights.

This will be my first experience backpacking back in the east, but I understand it is nothing but non-stop rain, mud, chiggers and leeches. I’ll humor my back-east relatives by pretending to enjoy it anyway.

    Chiggers? Leaches? Give me scorpions and rattlesnakes any day.

    Wow, you just made me a little bit relieved that I’m not going with you. Have a great time, and stay safe!

    Don’t bother about those things, Daryl. Hypothermia will get you long before you have a chance to worry!

    And werewolves; don’t forget werewolves!
