I had quite the adventure last week. Friday evening was spent on the road driving in circles until my roommate and I could find these forested trails to walk. We found a short, 1 mile, trail that was meant for horseback riders. In typical me fashion, I was ill prepared. My roommate was definitely on the ball with the planning.
She made sure we had snacks for the trail: soft-baked M&Ms cookie and a bowl of brownies.

snacks!
To show you how ill-prepared I was, check out my shoes. I figured an easy walk wouldn’t require sneakers, but I guess I underestimated the amount of horse poop I’d have to leap over and how many wood chips would end up getting stuck in my shoes.

Ok, I guess it was more than just my shoes that looked out of place in the forest. Check out the rest of my ridiculous getup. I was trying to stay comfortable, but I guess I should’ve realized that walking around in a forest with prickly plants sticking out onto the walking path would’ve been a problem for my baggy, ankle-length, jogging pants:

would you like a brownie?
All in all, it was a super relaxing hour wandering around in this forest. Next time, I’ll know to dress more appropriately!
um…yes, i would definitely like a brownie! those look amazing!
