On our way to the hiking area, we got a little lost. We asked some hikers on the side of the road for directions. Clearly they were fellow New Yorkers, as they were beyond annoyed that we asked them a question. They swiftly pointed and said, “its were all the cars are parked.” All the cars were parked literally a 20 minute drive from we were. New Yorkers hear my plea, when out in the country hiking can you pretend to not be New Yorkers and be nice??? It kinda dampens the spirit of the day when you continue to be rude outside of the city.

We went on a little adventure around a lake. There wasn’t exactly a trail, so we had a little difficulty with navigation. At one point we actually ran into three teenage boys carrying machete’s. No joke. Rejuvenation ended at that time, as I mentally began to review my newly learned self-defense skills. Nothing happened, but still there is no need for weapons. Its not that far from civilization.
