Playing hookie

Chris and I played hookie a few weeks ago. We had both already been to the gym and were getting ready for work in our respective gym locker rooms. Chris sent the initial text message with the temptation of calling in sick. The magic words he used were something along the lines of, "We could go hiking." Sold! I called my boss and told her I had been having a lot of headaches lately (true) and that I was going to take the day off to relax (true if you call hiking the most difficult trails in the park relaxing) to fend off any more headaches. I hung up, drove home, and Chris and I packed up for a day of fun.

I finally remembered our camera so here are a few pics of our hike in Turkey Run State Park. The first picture is the dubious bridge we had to cross to get to the hikes we wanted. The last picture is where we ran into three older women who were trying to figure out how to hike through the stream and decided to watch us first to figure it out. Chris and I figured out that the trick was to find the 4 inch ledge along the side of the rock, walk gingerly along it using the sporadic fingerholds, and pray you didn't fall into what ended up being a decent drop into the water. Needless to say the women took their shoes off and walked in the water. Complete cheating if you ask me! The middle two pictures were of great scenery. Enjoy!
