We have been missing hiking lately and so today is a planned hike and picnic which should be lovely. Right after surgery, the two of us started walking a good bit and even did some hiking in Gatlinburg. That was a lot of fun but man did it hurt. Hiking to the summit of a mountain three weeks post surgery is dumb. And of course I am that kind of dumb. But, regardless, we are going out hiking today and that should be good fun. The heat shouldn't be too bad and the humidity shouldn't be unbearable. We plan on doing a lot of hiking and such when this journey fully kicks off in August. I even found a place where I might want to start, the Peaks of Otter. A the name is cool, B it is close to where we are staying and C what a cool name. So yeah, that's the plan.
