A Close Call
I almost died today
A few of my friends and I went up to Mount Si to go hiking. The four mile trail was very steep and rocky and due to my poor exercise, I was sweating within the first mile. I brought way too much stuff.
Instead of the stroll in the woods I was expecting we all got a really good work out. It took us three hours to make it up the trail. The way down was alot quicker despite the nasty aches it gave our knees. During the hike I consumed two 16 oz. water bottles meaning that I get approximately 32 miles to the gallon. Pretty good considering that water is alot cheaper than gasoline.
After our hike we went to Burger King to reacquire all the calories we had burned on our trek. A few burgers, fries and milkshakes later we exited the establishment and headed back.
There were four of us on the hike, two brothers from Quiz, TBQelite and I. Mr. TBQelite was driving and since the brothers live on the way we dropped them off first. We ended up staying at their house and to watch a movie and their parents invited us to stay for a very tasty dinner. Thanks Mr. and Mrs. M!
It was a great day but I have a feeling some of you want to know how I almost died. Unfortunately, I've got to get to bed because I've got stuff to do. This story will be continued...

The hike was pretty good.
Your cliffhanger will irritate people... therefore I will be kind enough to post my recount on my blog! Bwhahahaha...
Haha. I want to hear what happens...
Burger king eh? Interesting. I've never quite understood the plastic dude. He scares me.
Hey, that's not funny! Cool, climbing mountains. I need to find some friends who like to do the same. None of mine are appreciative of the outdoors. Therefore, I rarely get to do any of that fun stuff.
wow. yes everyone is at the edge of their chairs now...do tell.
And now Rabenstrange is taking his family vacation and won't be back for a bit.
You're a dirty birdie.
Sounds like you had fun.
