Selfie Sunday - on a hike

Sunday is easliy my favorite day of the week.  It's only downfall is the next day is Monday. So....I went ahead and took Monday off today.

The weather is usually nice - the sun shines - and it is a great day for relaxing, reflecting and just enjoying yourself.

This past Sunday my main squeeze and I went on a back country hike.  It kicked my ass, but was so worth it.

This is what my view looked like for most of the hike.  He goes about 10x faster than me, especially uphill!  I try not to complain because he carries everything for me, which is nice.  Our hike was 'off the grid'.  (It really means - scouting out Elk Hunting areas)  It also meant that selecting my running shoes to wear for the day was not my best idea.  Everything poked through and my feet really hurt - especially on the down hill trek.  Oops.  ALSO running shorts weren't the smartest thing to wear either.  All of that brush scratched the shit out of my legs.  No mini skirts for this girl for a while.

 All of that buckle brush did a number on my legs.

Just in case you were worried - I got a chance to take a selfie!  See that hole behind me?  That was an old mine shaft in the side of the mountain.  It was pretty neat.  Also I have no idea how the hell the miners got up there in the old days and dug a mine shaft by hand!  It was all I could do just to walk up there - let alone dig a shaft.  (heh heh, I said shaft)

The views were beautiful!  Central Montana is the prettiest place on earth if I do say so myself.  The fires out West made it a little hazy - but you could still see for miles!
Have a great week!  Do something nice for yourself this week!  Cheers to making the most of it!
