What I Did on My Summer Vacation
I went here.
This is Harwood Lodge, a property of the Sierra Club. It's like going to summer camp as a grownup -- no A/C, no phone, cranky plumbing, bunk beds...
The Younger Son and I went there over July 4 weekend this year. The Lodge is at 6000 feet (1829 meters) elevation. We decided to hike to "the waterfall", a mere 1.2 miles away. I huffed and puffed, and had to sit down every quarter mile. I had to wear my baggiest t-shirts all weekend, because I couldn't zip my hiking pants and had to hide the fact. With any exertion my fingers would swell up so that I couldn't remove my rings.
Truly, the Lodge is a relaxing and serene place, with the right mix of people. But my frustration with the condition of my body kept me from the enjoyment I had there three years ago.
If you're wondering what triggered me to become impatient with kinder, gentler, gradual eating habits change, this trip was a good deal of it.
