My stomach hates me. But here's Hazel and Aggie watching the Squirrel Show.

This is a daily post for “casual” conversation. If you want to post or talk about something non autism related this is where to do it. For example if you want to info dump about your special interest but it doesn’t fall into “autism related” then you can post it here in the comments. All other rules are still active, be respectful to each other.

I was seriously concerned about my ability to do this hike, especially while carrying way too much stuff, and with younger and fitter friends, but then I remembered I literally do not know how to stop. So I used that for recreation instead of work and I survived. Just need to hike back out tomorrow.

What stuff you had to carry?

[–] Arcanepotato@crazypeople.online 1 points 11 months ago

We are camping! And carrying way too much but honestly the 3 person tent is worth it.

That's my partner and his pack, mine is similar.

That looks peaceful.

[–] Arcanepotato@crazypeople.online 2 points 11 months ago

It is, mostly. It's much closer to an RV park than the hike distance would have you believe. We assume that's where the firework noises were coming from yesterday.

that place looks beautiful and it's a very long hike back. maybe suggest to your partner that you just live there now.
