Man, I just crawled back from Lolo Peak last night, rolled in around 10:30 like a deflated beach ball. It was an epic battle royale with Mother Nature – 5,000 feet of elevation gain, snowdrifts deeper than a Kardashian’s weave, rocks more treacherous than a politician’s promise, and wind that could rip the shingles off a dragon. Talk about character-building! My legs feel like overcooked linguine, but I’ll write more when I’m not face-planting into the keyboard.
Honestly, this might be the toughest peak I’ve tackled yet. Up top, the weather went rogue – winds howling like a banshee on a bender. Brutal doesn’t even begin to describe it. But hey, there’s something weirdly satisfying about pushing yourself to the limit, right? Like, even when my brain was screaming “Dude, turn back!”, my feet kept moving. Especially when the sun started setting and I realized I wasn’t even close to the summit. Talk about a motivator! By the time I finally made it down, it was pitch black – I practically navigated by glow-in-the-dark socks.
Now, I just finished sorting through my pictures, and let me tell you, they’re mountain masterpieces. Seriously, the best I’ve ever captured. Stay tuned for an upload tomorrow – they’re so stunning, I might even try to sell one (don’t judge, gotta feed this hiking habit somehow, right?).
Anyway, gotta crash. My body is begging for a truce, but my brain wouldn’t shut down until I said hi and scrubbed my hiking plans off the web. Don’t want anyone thinking I became a permanent resident of the peak!
Until next time, happy adventuring! (And maybe pack an extra layer next time… just sayin’.)
