Here is an awesome quote I heard several years ago that really explains why hiking rocks........
"You cannot stay on the summit forever, you have to come down again. So, why bother in the first place? Just this: what is above knows what is below, but what is below does not know what is above. One climbs, one sees. One descends, one sees no longer, but one has seen. There is an art of conducting oneself in the lower reaches by memory of what one saw higher up. When one can no longer see, one can at least still know."
-French Mountaineer, Rene Daumal
So there you have it! Hiking rocks!
DeAnn! I just read your comment on my blog, and I came back over here and the comment that I made on this post isn't here! I wrote a huge one too, right after you posted this. That is so weird.
ReplyDeleteANYway, I was laughing because I wrote on here all about how funny it was that we dug up that sign and moved it just so we could get a better backdrop for our photo, haha!! Those were the good old days.
*ahem* I mean, These are the good old days.
