Laws of the land

So when we take our long walks in the woods, we've noticed a few things that have become almost "absolute" laws for us. This is a post that will be continuously updated when we make new laws but for now, we have 3 main laws to lay down.


1.) Tripping on a garter snake is the worst way to die.

This is very simple. Image if you will, walking along a trail. With out any notice what so ever, a garter snake slitter across the trail, trips you and you happen to fall into the ravine, of the cliff or long drop to the side. We've both agreed that it would be the absolute worst way to die and weirdest thing to find on an obituary.

The common culprit.


2.) Girls always are going up when we are going down.

I don't know if they are timing it or what be but every hike we do, there is always girls coming up as we go down. Never going down as we go up.

You don't get a picture

3.) Lake Serene is a must.

Dubbed the "hike to heaven" by us and for a good reason. As in our first blog, the hike is pretty much like going to heaven and that is self explanatory.

The lake it self

4.) An Ice Axe is needed everywhere
 
 
Even during the summer time, I'd use an Ice Axe. They can be used for lifting, leverage, balance, saving you, bottle opener, trekking pole and a bunch of other useful stuff.
 
 
With every hike, we'll have new rules and such to add so don't expect this post to just be one and done.
 
Thanks for reading as always and remember
Keep Calm and Climb On
