Hiking is the devil

Aloha!! So, Rachael and I got off work yesterday at 2:45ish, thinking, hey, lets go for a hike!! Not sure why, but that's what we did! And we chose Lady Mac, which is like.. 6 hours round trip. We didn't even get there until like...4. And it gets dark at about 6:30. We're like yeah!! we'll bring our headlamps and we'll be fine!! But once we started, we were like nope don't want to come down this in the dark! It was right speep and rocky and not dark walking material. So, we only went up for about an hour and a half, then headed down. While we were up there we had the bright idea of waiting until it got dark, and going swimming in Cougar Creek, which is at the bottom of the trail. Well, it was far from dark when we got there. No sun, but definitely completely day light. But we wouldn't be stopped! We went anyways! And let me tell you, it was the coldest water I've ever touched!!! Colder than the Ottawa river in May!! Well.. on second thought... not sure. Maybe not QUITE that cold. But keep in mind it's water fed from the top of those mountains, lots of snow and ice up there. We were in and out as fast as humanly possible, praying no one say us, haha. We weren't exactly decent :| Anywho, wow, it was cold. I thought I was going to die for sure!! And then!! once we got all bundled up in ever piece of clothing we owned, we had to walk over an hour to get home!! Wet!!! Joy wasn't home to give us a ride, and we couldn't find a phone to call a taxi!! It was 7:30 and pitch dark when we got back, and we ended up skipping spanish, and pigging out and chips, pizza, and pepperettes. Ymmm :) It was gooooood food :)
But today I paid for it. I have to work 6 days this week, and I was in so much pain today!! I didn't know my butt got such a work out from hiking, haha but it sure hurt today! And my feet.... gah... and my legs.. and my knees... gah. I hurt so much last night I could hardly sleep. I'm such a whiner :) Anyways, it was awesome, and we have pics and videos and no one will ever see them :D
Cheers!
