a b-e-a-utiful day for hiking today. there was a looong flat section through the cumberland valley farmlands. I rounded up a few cattle in the fields and and looked for some sweet corn along the way. Then i went by Lincoln speedway. I could not see it, but roar of the sprint cars and the classic voice of the announcer on the loudspeaker made it pretty clear what was going on.
The halfway point was still 7 miles away at the end of the day, however My family and their friends wanted to see me attempt the half gallon challenge and they have to work tomorrow, so they drove me to the pine grove furnace store where it is commonly attempted. (don't ask me why they all wanted to watch me stuff my face with ice cream)
There was one problem when we got there.... they were sold out of half gallons!!! I think my mom was more upset about it than i was. So i got a cone of moose tracks and a soda then we went out to eat. I did finish everyone's leftovers and i think that it was a suitable substitute for ice cream. Don't worry, i will try the challenge on my own and let you know how it works out.
For now i am just watching some football. Real halfway tomorrow.
