The Hike of Doom

[kiffie]

Or, Why Kiffies Are Tired Today.

Yesterday, random_redshirt, Mr. Kitty, and this here Kiff went on a hike up Bishop's Peak. It was a nice day, neither hot nor cold, and a grand time was had by all. Well, mostly. Kiffies found out she is more out of shape than previously thought, and made it less than half-way up the mountain before realizing this. Heh. Whoops?

I did make it to the top, but not without quite a lot of whining, bitching, and nearly passing out. I think the other two found this equally amusing and horrifying -- if I died there, they'd have to cart my corpse down the mountain. What an inconvenience!

random has graciously allowed me to post the awesome pictures she took while we were making our ascent. :D


Looking out over the valley, below. Note the ominous fog.




OMINOUS FOG.


Making our way up. Mr. Kitty in the foreground, Kiffies in the background, clearly doing the Leo strut.


At about the halfway point, I sat and considered the likelihood of survival should I have skidded down the side of the mountain to freedom.


I evidently love random.


Near the top. The last bit of sunlight burns off some fog before getting eaten by the mountains.

It's a very tight weave. It's a very stiff hat, for being straw. I lurve it so.

Where did you get this thing of majesty? I wish to procure one as well, sir!

It's from a site called Hats In The Belfry (lol pun).
