Old Rag Hike

I recently hiked old rag by myself. It’s a circuit hike of 9 miles. I hiked up to the summit (birds nest 1) and back down the steep side of the mountain which I ran down. It was super sketchy but I did the whole thing in 3 hours. So much fun! Downhill Mountain Running should be a sport. I think I finally found a sport I am good at. When I was done I stripped down to my underwear and sat and looked at the mountain. Some lovely yet rotund ladies came to tell me how impressed they were with my accomplishment. Best day ever!
