Yeah I can understand that lol...blisters while hiking suck. Knowing you have to push on for many more miles with blisters wrecks havoc on the will power sometimes. But I bet it was a lot of fun other than that. We are looking forward to fall for our serious hiking trips. I'm so not a summer person..which is ironic since I live in the hot humid south! Loved the pet pics too. We hope to give raising chicks a try this coming spring. Gotta get the coop built this fall and ready first.
