So much fun hiking with this one. As we were hiking, we started wondering what animals we might run into. "We might even see a bear." "Really? Fuck! Wait are you sure? Do you still have a cell signal? Maybe we use our phone to look up whether there are bears here. What mountain are we on again?" "Bear Mountain?" "Bear Mountain! OH FUCK!"

I always take pics of the posted trail maps before setting off on a hike so I'll have a reference copy on my camera.
