Bittersweet Hell

Yet another hiking trip for the two of us. We sort of got lost this time. I followed the directions but could not find the park I was looking for. We wanted to go to this park with a mountain call Mt. Sugarloaf, hence the title. I must say I am not always the best with driving directions. Later I found out that Miss Moon had seen the park earlier but did not say anything, she was not sure she had the right place. It's not my fault. It was blocked off and I wasn't wearing my glasses. You might not believe this, but glasses actually help you see.

There was a nice looking trail off of the road that Miss Moon really wanted to take. I wasn't so sure about it. It had to be the steepest trail we've undertaken yet. The mountain was only 652 feet high but it felt more like 6,000 feet. Miss Moon loved it and wanted to do it again. I was about ready to beat her to a pulp. She was "cruisin' for a bruisin'" (What's that from?) Well on the bright note Miss Moon did not make her own trail for a change. Usually I get bored and create my own which is why I always get us lost. It was a step up for me. She should have enjoyed it too.

You have got to be kidding me!

Look how far we've come.

Check out these killer views!

Yay campus!

The Connecticut River

I must say the mountain had one of the best views so far. We could see for miles, even got a glimpse of our campus from afar. I was in no mood for another trail on the way back down the mountain so I never said anything to Miss Moon when I saw the trail, off the road, leading down. Who would think we were crazy enough to go back? I am crazy enough to do it again. I want to do the whole trail through. I got my second wind!!! I so could have done the other trail.
