This past week I went hiking on Table Rock. It's located in Pickens, South Carolina. The total mileage of hiking up and back down is 6.8. If it was a straight walk it wouldn't be so hard, but I've heard it's the most strenuous in South Carolina. Even though the view at the top was amazing, the whole time I'm thinking "Is this really worth it?". Especially since this was my second time hiking Table Rock, even though the first time I said I was never doing it again. But any way, plenty of thoughts went through my head this time.
Are We Almost There?
You think your kids ask this a lot when riding in the car...think again!
Can We Take A Break?
This happens about every 5 minutes..
How Sore Am I Going To Be Later?
Considering you're already hurting now, in a day or two it'll only be worse.
Is It Time To Eat?
I always have food with me, so of course I packed snacks. Which during that hike, I had like four slim jims, a pack of nuts, a bag of homemade trail mix, a sandwich, and an Oreo chocolate candy bar.
Did I Bring Enough Water?
I packed three water bottles and that was just barely enough for me.
I Thought I was Fit
That hike proved me wrong!
What If There Is A Snake?
Thankfully I never saw one, but my mom (who was a little behind with a few others) did but also thankfully nothing happened.
This Better Be Worth It
In my opinion, the pictures I got were definitely worth it.
I'm Never Doing This Again!
Yet, this was my second time. And I said it both times, which means I'll probably be right back there again.
I Can't Wait Till This Is All Over!
The best part was when I finally got to sleep!
At Least There's Some Cool Things
I saw a turtle that decided to roll down the mountain and huge mushrooms, which when busted open, changed colors in the matter of five seconds.
How Far Down Is It If I Fall?
That was probably my biggest fear...slipping and falling to my death.
I was hurting so much but it was one of the greatest experiences and adventures of my life. So try hiking at least once in your life!
