What's on Your Mind

[InbetweenDreams]

@andy I wouldn't be the least bit surprised. I do have GI issues that have been going on for years that I think is linked to some kind of food stuffs. I just haven't pinned it down to what it is or perhaps several things. There's a big long back story...whenever I get the time to go in about it. As for the heat rash. Definitely heat rash, never get it in the winter. I went on a long hike yesterday and my arms got sunburned and got heat rash. They didn't itch during the hike but boy they sure when when I got home. Tiny little bumps on my arms which I suspect are the clogged sweat glands.

I'll definitely have to post about my stomach woes, it's a conundrum in itself.

But yes, I got out of the house, went for a 7 hour hike. I did about 9.5 miles and about 1,800 ft of elevation gain. It really was too much. It's one thing when you do a loop but an out and back hike, I kind of have the tendency to go too far. I was completely wore out. I probably should have done half that I did. I probably posted about it years ago, but it is the Fire's Creek, Rim Trail. The trail isn't well maintained that well, mainly because it a hard hike. Not a trail for beginners by any means. I got ate up around my ankles I guess from spiders or something...they got through my socks. So I'm going to have to revisit that as I'd rather not get bug bites all over me. It was overall nice, just need to be more acclimated to those sort of hikes. I'd like to do the entire trail which is 25 miles and probably will take 3 days to do. Really need to have someone to go hike with but that is probably going to be difficult since it is a difficult trail. Last month would have been better weather, it is so much nicer when it is 50 doing these big climbs.
