Went Hiking on the Superior Hiking Trail

This week was the last week of medical school, so to celebrate we went camping.

(Please not that I am not in medical school, but I know everything about the gossip of medical school which seems like the best part)


Jenny and I hate camping.... We discovered about each other after professional campers/ classmates asked us to come. (Probably to add humor to their day.)

Professionals

Don't get me wrong. We are willing to try new things and we consider ourselves adventuresome, but the thought of not showering and sleeping on the ground does not make us jump into the car and shove off. I guess we are adventuresome as long as we can shower....

However, we decided it would be fun, so we begged for other people's stuff and we set out. We drove up to Silver Bay after the normai stopping at gas stations and McDonalds.

Obvious professionals

After seaching we found the starting point and started hiking. The hike in was mostly uphill and gorgeous. We went by the Bear and Bean lakes and ate lunch about 3.5 miles in. There I turned my watch off and forgot to turn it on until later (hence the straight line instead of following the trail.)


At the beginning

We finally arrived at the campsite and unpacked the tent and had a delicious dinner of hotdogs and smores. Of course, that was all we brought (along with approximately 100 lbs of trail mix) so the number of hotdogs and smores eaten were rather embarrassing.

Which leads me to ask this question.... Who are these people who like burned smores? I think they are the same as the ones that prefer regular hotdogs to cheddar ones.


Sitting around a campfire at night is fun hanging out with friends is even more fun. Having some smores is always a good time and my main job was sharpening the sticks used for cooking. However, it was better than jenny's job which was to get smoke blown in her face and get sleepy. (Also, she burned all the marshmallows she could.)

After a fun night hanging with our new friend (Bud, a guy who invented his own tent and sat with us all night roind the campfire.... Luckily he was not a psycho serial killer as movies would have me believe.)

We went to sleep, had a breakfast of smooshed bananas, and smooshed PB and J sandwiches, and started walking back.

We picked a little shorter trail home and here we are. It was a great little trip and a learned a few things.

1: Hiking uphill is easier than hiking down hill.(My feet looks like my dad's by the end)

2: You don't need to look like hiker to be hiker.

3: The key to hiking is good weather.

4: Food should be non-smooshable.

5: Always be polite to "Bud" because you never know.

6: Hiking with friends is a great way to end this little slice of our life.
