My wife and I met on a hiking and camping trip, we were both members of an online group and we met one another after going to a hiking and camping retreat on the weekend.
The hike turned out to be a 12 mile trail in the state park.
The trail is one of the harder ones and that is why people are required to have a trail guide and a group of people when they leave on the expedition. The hike was 3 hours long and I was fatigued by the time we reached the summit. I sat down on a rock next to a beautiful woman and many of us started up a conversation. We found out that we were both from the same small town. It was around 90 degrees that day and I ran out of water on the track. Thankfully we stopped at a stream and I filled up my canteen with water from the stream. It was moving quickly, so I knew I didn’t have to worry about any genre of parasites or amoebas. When we got back to the cars, I decided to ask the woman if she wanted to have lunch sometime. We exchanged phone numbers and went our separate ways. As soon as I got home, I turned the A/C down to 69° and I turned on the ceiling fan. I laid down in bed for a couple of hours. That cold A/C felt good after a long day of hiking. I slept for a while until I woke up to the sound of the iphone ringing. It was a number that I did not recognize. It turned out to be the woman from the hike I had taken earlier that day.
