Getting to where the sidewalk ends

Some like it hot!

My Saturday went from a boring trudge to a long slow grind that led to me getting slammed in the backside and then ended with a Blond Bombshell.  And it was wicked hot.

What, you want details?  Ok.  I decided to go hiking with a group of people Saturday morning in the woods about an hour north of here.  Too much of it was uphill, through soft sand or on a long asphalt road.  Here is the group taking a short break before more uphill trudging.




 When it got up to 95 degrees I told the group I was taking the shortcut back to the parking area and promptly hitched a ride with a passing car.  I left my hiking buddies to another two hours of trail I wasn't interested in.  I told them I'd meet them at the brewery later as planned.


This is one of the roads we hiked along that joined a couple trails.  This isn't the car I hitched with, wish it had been, they looked like they were having fund as they blew past horns honking.  There was about 20 of these antiques of various models.


How hot was it out here? Hot enough for almost all the ground cover like these ferns to be dried to a crisp.  Fire hazard for miles.





Anyway, on the way to the brewery after a stop for lunch a dingy girl hit my car at a stop light.  We pulled over to look at the damage and there wasn't really any so we decided to not worry about it.  Oh, and the blonde?


Southern Star Southern Star Brewery makes a great beer I discovered called Blonde Bombshell.  How good?  It turned to this really quick--->


It made up for what was otherwise mostly a crappy day.
