It all started last winter when my friend Rolla lent me the book "Wild" by Cheryl Strayed, a memoir of the author's adventure hiking the Pacific Crest Trail. Knowing that I love to hike and find it impossible to turn down a good adventure, after I finished reading the book she asked "Zuzka do you want to hike the Rideau Trail with me?" Of course I agreed! We decided that we would start in the spring and would hike the Rideau Trail (RT) section by section, day by day, step by step. It might take us all summer, or all summer and fall, or even all summer, all fall, and all next summer too, but we would we walk all the way from Ottawa to Kingston.
...and so our journey began.
...and yes I'm starting this blog late. It's now August. I've learned that there are very few real deadlines in life (and especially at work).
... I decided to start my first ever blog mainly so that my parents who live far away can share the adventure. And so Rolla's parents who also live far away (but close to my parents!) can also know what we are up to. And so Rolla's husband doesn't think we are crazy to do this. On second thought, he might think we are even crazier once he reads this :-)
