Hiking the Subway in December…. I mean does that sentence sorta sum up everything, ABSOLUTELY. This was probably one of the craziest things I have EVER done! Its already an 8ish hour hike, but it doesn’t help when you leave at noon and take a 2 mile detour… then finally venture on the right path and find the water to be FROZEN [yes we had to swim through freezing water!!] Heather was the only smart one and brought a wet suit, the rest of us resorted to really nice team work skills! After swimming through ice cold water, fighting to stay warm, getting caught looking for the exit in pitch dark with soaking shoes [vans], and having little food and water… we managed to find our way out and write to tell about it!! One of the craziest, scariest, MOST AMAZING experiences ever! [Not to mention how spiritual and how much family bonding this did as well!] Looking back on it I feel incredibly blessed and watched over, and also so stoked that we accomplished it!
