We are alive!
So much to say and not sure where to start.
We hiked 8 1/2 miles….
I can’t walk….
My calves are quivering….
I need a shower….
I need a massage.
Full recap coming right up….on my way home right now!

Mackenzie @ Whatever, Gatsby
July 5, 2010 at 7:28 pmWooooo! So glad you didn’t pull a “Grizzly Man”.
Don’t google that. You won’t like it.
And a second woooo! for boyfriend! Is that Adam?! Jeez, I’ve been reading this blog for way too long that I call people I don’t know by their first names (Need my crazy pills, much?)
But if it is him, I guessed right 🙂

Lindsay @ Summit Sandwiches
July 5, 2010 at 7:35 pmDon’t you just wanna run back there and do it all over again, soar calves and all? I love that “I’ve experienced so much and worked my body so hard and loved every second of it” feeling. It’s something only hiking escapades can provide me.

M.
July 6, 2010 at 5:16 amI’d say 95% of your longtime readers knew your man was the handsome Adam but it’s a bit of a relief to have him “revealed”!
And I am sure it was getting tricky making sure his pic was avoided on every dinner gathering you went to….now y’all can relax! 😉
Now as long as all the readers(including me!) can continue to be respectful of your private relationship and not be too invasive and nosy , then I’d say all systems are go!
People take such a vested interest once they start reading daily…it’s like we forget we are reading NONfiction and we kinda want to dictate where the “storyline” goes….
Welcome (for the 2nd time!) to ELR Adam….and we’ll do our best not to step on your handsome toes 😉
Kelly
July 6, 2010 at 5:32 amWow, it looks absolutely stunning!!
kaila
July 6, 2010 at 5:40 amOMG first pick of the boy! so excited to finally put a face to him !

July 6, 2010 at 12:43 pmlove yosemite. We used to live in california and my parents would drag us on hikes every weekend we could get away from the bay area…I used to hate them for it, but I’m so happy I had the opportunity to see such a beautiful place 🙂
Kelly
July 6, 2010 at 5:26 pmYay for a picture of the boyfriend! Tell him thank you for finally satisfying all of our curiosity! I love 8 mile hikes. My fiance fell in love hiking the Smokies together and most of our hikes were around 8 miles up hill both ways! 🙂
