Today I went on a beautiful hike with one of my dear friends from home, and besides the naked guy that we saw talking a casual stroll along the beach, we had fun hiking the hills of Santa Barbara County. At the top of the hill that we climbed, there was a breath-taking view of the ocean and surrounding countryside; but the second best event at the top was when we read the log book.
The purpose of a log book is to mark your accomplishment in writing so that those who follow can read the names and follow suit. This log book contained some short stories, rants about how tired some were, a few scattered profanities, and tales of triumph. Our favorite entry began like this: "So today I awoke to the sweet sounds of techno and took many shots of vodka." -sounds like the start to an awesome day- and it ended like so: "Long, arduous adventure, but it is not quite done, as we are about to smoke some plants atop this beautiful mountain. woo-ee-woo-ee." I think every hiker in the Western United States heard my laugh at the conclusion of that entry. Although my day did not begin with the "sweet sounds of techno," or end with "smoking some plants," it was still a great day with my friend. :)
