(Can you spot the mountain dog?)I thought that the email that came through regarding Sunday’s group hike was simply a misspelling: “Tomorrow’s Wall”.
My friends claimed that they tried to convey that this was not an easy hike. However, the email that read: “lots of ups and downs on this one” did not accurately clarify that up and downs did not mean simply walking up and down hills, but clambering over boulders that had been sheared from rock walls formed during the last ice age.
As a recovering lymie, I’ve been working to rebuild my strength, by digging trenches, climbing ladders, and carting firewood. But still, it takes time, when, for the last year+, you’ve resembled a piece of linguine that’s been stuck to the wall far too long.
Four hours of climbing over rocks was just a bit over the top.

Hey... good for you! I found the "mountain dog' easily by the way. Arcadia? or? My hiking days are on hold for a few weeks... a day at a time. Stay warm. Feel better.
Ell Pond. Great fun for dogs, who madly dashed 20 miles to our bumbling six!
Hope you're soon hiking again!
Nice pics! Reminds me of my hiking in Bear mountain. Sometimes it was more exhausting than in the Alps
Are there ticks in the Alps? Maybe I should come visit you...
Yeah, some . But I think not as many as at your place. This summer wasn't this bad.I had none, even walking in the woods every day. And I hope with a strong winter, there won't be so much next summer.
