The Appalachian Trail

I went hiking on the Appalachian Trail. It's a trail that stays along the top of the appalachian mountains and spans from Maine to Georgia. It was a beautiful hike. We started at 5:00ish am and ended at about 11 am. It was steep and sweaty, but very fun. At the top of every "mountain" there is a pile of rocks that you can climb up and sit on to see above the trees. This is the tallest "mountain" in Connecticut. It is 2316 ft above sea level. Coming from Utah, that's rather sad.



After hiking, we drove around forever looking for the oldest condensed milk factory in America. It was hard to find in a town in the middle of nowhere without any street signs. When we did find it, all it was was this sign. There wasn't even a factory. Just a sign and a bunch of trees. It was quite a disappointment.

Maybe on your next outing you can visit the site of the world's second condensed milk factory. I hear that it is way better than the first one.

HA!Hahahahhahahhahahha! Two G feet? I just passed a sign that said "6528 feet". And condensed milk factories? Holy muskrat (Dylan's favorite new saying) Connecticut is HARD UP for some sort of notable achievement. Heck, we're home to the world's richest hole!

The terms of the challenge are being thought up. Did your boy get rid of that rat infestation on his chin?

Miranda W. said...

Yes. He was only growing that for a contest at work.

I'll be watching the Glam Rock Hott contest with great anxiety and interest. BTW, I still have the Pudgy Middle-aged Balding Hott title all wrapped up, don't I???
