My first hike ever today! Mr.Patterson said to wear lots of layers so I wore the following: 3 hats, 2 scarfs, a headband, a vest, 4 sweatshirts, 5 longsleeve shirts, 2 pairs of tights, 3 pairs of leggings, 3 pairs of pants, 4 pairs of thick socks, 2 pairs of gloves, a pair of mittens, and my boots, not to mention I had a backpack to carry also. We walked from Saggy Beach to Sandwich High School, 10 miles. It was supposed to be from 8-2 but we finished at 1 o'clock. I learned several things about hiking: don't be overprepared, bring snakcs or candy to eat along the way, pack lots of water, eat before you go, stretch before you go out, use the straps on your backpack, and never wear cotton. When we were walking along the canal I started to dose off and almost fell in. The view from the bridge was amazing. Halfway I got really hungry. After we had stopped my hip joint started hurting and it was terrible the rest of the way. But it was still so much fun!
