Monday

Betsy and I decided to go hiking. Someplace close. Not too far. Maybe we'll hike every weekend all summer. Maybe not. This body needs a jolt.

So hiking it was. Up to Yuba River.

Nice cherries we ate while spitting the pits out the window and laughing about how silly it was when they flew away. Nice covered bridge that's all historic of those grubby gold panners who came here from the dust bowl. You know I live in Gold Country? Maybe I'll strike it rich!!! And on to the hike. Along the river which opens into a lake. Maybe we'll hike to those campsites some weekend. We wish we had a big gang of friends to do cool stuff like that.

There was this mondo hill we climbed that i thought I would die. I was walking so slow. Then on the way down the backside I was freaked out a cougar would pounce and eat us.

I'm so paranoid. This entry is so disjointed.

Here's a good part. We found the best swimming hole! Clear water, no current, NOT COLD AT ALL. And very Pretty! Plus there were some high school boys there trying to get our attention. We ignored them.

Later tho I saw that on our way home they were traveling the same route. They somehow had a giant hotdog they kept holding out the window and waving obnoxiously as they'd pass us, then we';d pass them. So funny. Betsy was embarrassed, cuz we are so much more mature than that. haha. J/K. But I thought it was great. They even wrote their number an held it up to the window as we passed. HAHAHA! silly silly. On the whole it was one of the best days I've had in a long time. Nature is good. I hate cities.

Later we watched Peter Pan. I wish I were a kid again. Aw well.

And I have a job interview tomorrow. Blarg.
