Walking in the Moonlight!

For the record sized moon we decided to do something adventurous so we went on a hike. Our original plan: to hike by moonlight. However, the tree canopy and clouds thought differently. so luckily 3 out of the 12 people that went had flashlights (well it was like 2 flashlights and a bike light that worked like a candle). Add limited lighting to mounds of muck and mud with a rewarding waterfall at the end and you have out adventure.

It was so much fun even though i was throughly creeped out the entire time. Thankfully i was able to cling on to my roommate, Whit-nasty. She was one of the lucky ones who got to use a flashlight since she is pretty much legally BLIND in the dark. We are proud to say though that out of the 7 girls that went were were the only two who did not slip and fall on our butts. OH YEAH!!! But Whit-nasty did happen to step into mud that was ankle deep and run smack into a tree (like i said legally blind). Well since it was dark we ended up wandering around and got lost quite a bit....yea I know.. a little worrisome but still we got to the waterfall ( and home too). Of course i couldn't do all the work and walking without a reward so i got over my anxiety and went swimming in a big deep dark freezing pond in the moon light and jumped off the lower portion right next to the falls. Amazing. i am so happy that i actually went swimming and jumped or else i would have been pissed at myself.

So for this whole trip including a 45 min drive there a mile and a half hike a little time at the falls the hike back and the 45 min drive home, it took us a grand total of 5 &1/2 hours!!! now in perspective thats us getting lost and hiking for 4 HOURS, thats over a hour to walk ONE mile. oops oh well! hahah
