Performing without a net

We thought we would go for a nice hike this weekend, so we went to the Maryland side of Great Falls. Someone at REI said that we should hike the Billy Goat Trail up there. When we got there, we saw that there were three Billy Goat Trails, so we did the one that was closest to us, Billy Goat Trail A. It said it was difficult, but we figured it just meant that it was a little rocky, maybe some tree roots, possibly a change in elevation. Yeah, this is what part of the trail looked like:



And this is what I looked like on that trail:



Crazy, huh??? Needless to say, it was a little more difficult than we had imagined. But, we did it, all 1.7 miles of it (we actually walked about 4 miles total, but I think the totally ridiculous part was 1.7 miles). Today, I can barely walk up and down steps. Robbie says we had fun and it was a good accomplishment, and we plan to go back. I guess we'll just have to see about that.
