Yeah I said it. Europe may be nice but backpacking across the Midwest is just as good. I hiked more than ten miles for my spring break with a eighty pound pack on me. I hiked up to one miles elevation. I slept through rain in 20 degree weather. And now I am sore as fuck. The worst thing is I never felt pain until i made it back home in the car. I limped like an old lady to the pizza joint. Pissing in a toilet felt so weird after squatting in the woods

Man eating non dried or canned food is so weird now. And the water from the faucet never taste so good after just charcoal and iodine cleansed H2O. Now I get to go back to school in pain but stronger now. Plus I have my rock climbing sit test.
Whoo hooo Spring Break 2009!
