So, if you checked out our old blog, you would know John joined WTC, Wilderness Travel Course. It's like boyscouts but for adults..hehe. Anyway, John and our friend Joe joined this 10 week training course and well, they loved it!

For 10 weeks, John has been consistent in telling me, you are going to love it! You should go! And all I have been saying is, let me try it first... and, well, I did, but I don't love it! And if you know me, I have to love it. We would go to REI and he would try to get me to buy all this equipment, and good thing I would always tell him let me try it first.

Anyway, this was our little adventure...(more like their adventure... I didn't go far..haha)

Our hiking adventure was at Mt. Baldy. It was super pretty and was a pretty nice day. Not too hot or too cold. Okay, so once we passed the parking lot, we started going up this super steep hill, going up was not fun! I think I stopped 4 times before I even went 400 feet! We were at 5,000 feet elevation and boy... the air was thin! On our way up, we saw this cute couple on their way down. It looked like they were running, but you know what, it was super steep! So, when it was my third time getting dizzy and I totally felt bad for making them wait for me, so I convinced them to carry on without me, and I made my way down, which was hard too! Did I mention it was steep...=)

Good thing I had the camera, Old things can be so pretty sometimes. it can have so much character.

Nice and and rusty. I even had hiking dry food that I didn't get too eat because I was by the car with my camera and corn nuts. But I did try it when I got home. haha. Pretty good for just adding some hot water. I was impressed. Well, until our next adventure... Hopefully a non-hiking event!
