Is it ok if I bring my camera kit with? (So I have a legitimate reason to take a break every few km?)
Can confirm.
source: hiked across Haleakala crater on Maui. I mean, the otherworldly moonscape-like terrain is awesome, but no more awesome than one or two miles of it would have been.
Yea the road is great there and there are many in-and-out hikes along it that still add up to a full day.
Your summary is making me feel like less of a lazy-ass for doing it that way instead of the proper way like you did lol.
That’s an 18km hike at 5:00.
0500 hours you mean.
If you’re in the military, maybe.
No, 5:00 minutes, she best be getting ready!
Genuinely surprised how many 5 am hikers there are.
Sunrise makes a pretty memorable hike unforgettable.
That sounds pretty great actually!
Wow!!! You sound like the woooooooorst!!!
This is why it’s important to have a weekday off. A 12 mile hike sounds awesome, just not on a Saturday when it’s packed.
Yeah, I’m incredibly fortunate that I don’t actively take work on Mondays, and it’s fantastic. Sunday nights, folks are getting the blues, and I know that Monday is my day to either catch up on work, go on long runs, putz around the house, whatever. I absolutely do not take for granted my Mondays. And being able to go somewhere that’s otherwise busy is great on Monday.
That’s why you start at five
Packed? Y’all hike where there are other humans?! I’m always a bit taken aback when I see someone on the trail, and most places I go, I’d shit kittens if I saw a live human.
Sorry, but she has veto power:
You leave that ho alone! She agreed to go on a date with me!
“She did whaaaaaaaat!?” *chairs flying*
A 12-mile hike? Starting Sat. 5 a.m.? With this beautiful chick? Pretty sure my control center is casting mind-controlling magic to make this happen!
I’m sure once she’s on the hike the brain control center will come around. I’ve always said I love being up early, but I hate getting up early. 12 miles is a fair bit though hah.
I worked a 16-hour shift at Lowe’s, half in the outdoor area, 12-miles. I think most people would straight die.
I’d be OK with the distance, but I would definitely die from working in customer service for 16 hours haha.
I just say no and then they go ok and everything is fine
Yeah, when I was younger I think I felt weird about saying no. Now, I probably say it a bit too much, but whatever!
I’m in this comics and I don’t like it.
Me too. I’m frame 1 and 4.
uh, can i bike instead? and get coffee. and donuts.
there’s this spot at the local pond where when the light catches the crests of the waves at just the right time, the whole pond starts to sparkle. if that was right at sunrise instead of a bit before noon, it’d be worth waking up that early.
18km by bike doesn’t sound that bad TBH. Though depends on how steep the hike is.
With a bit of effort they can be home at noon so what’s the fuzz about?
