When hiking goes wrong


I absolutely love days like this!!! My sweetie and I decided to go on a picnic and hiking today.  It was so relaxing!!! Sometimes it's good to get away and enjoy nature.  While hiking and taking pictures, two hikers ended up falling further down the trail (its 2.5 miles long total).  It took 2.5 hours, the police, military, rescue squad, paramedics, and the park ranger to get these two up.  I'm not sure how they were rescued but I do know the rescue squad and the military personnel both wend down with rope and other supplies in a backpack.



How is it that medical staff that work in conditions such as these today are not required to be in shape??? 80% of the people that when down the trail struggled and were out of breath within 20 seconds of beginning.  Nonetheless, I'm glad everyone was ok.

You know, I think I should do things like this more often.  I love moments like this with my boo.  No phone, just us enjoying each other and, in this case, nature.  I can't wait to see what adventures we embark on next.
