Old Rag - Hiking & Rock Climbing!

Hey there lovies!

Guess who went a-hiking this holiday weekend? Yours truly. Yes, I ventured on an 8 mile hike, which was exhilarating and challenging. My friends and I scrambled, leaped, rolled, squeezed, pushed and hauled each other over many a rock. I'm just glad we lived to tell the tale... seriously. Old Rag (Virginia) is no joke! I'm glad I had the experience, great fun and good exercise. Check out the pics below:

Our Mt. Everest - yep we scaled that!

Exhausted

Don't ask. LOL

The Adventurous - had no clue what was coming - Crew

Deadly Blue Arrows. Our guide, they eventually symbolized near death

It's not what it looks like...  but that is a cliff hanger in the background

The things we had to do to get over these rocks!

Yep, squeezed our way through

Up, up, up into everlasting life... well not quite yet

 I'll say this about our hike, having that much of a mountain top experience sure made me appreciate the valleys I experience in life, they offer quite a bit of a reprieve. Aside from the bad rep valleys sometimes get, they are often fertile, rich and beautiful (with all the trials, challenges and lessons they bring).

Had any valley experiences lately? What do you have to be thankful for from those?

Happy designing!
