I'm trying to stop - realizing that it's the fat content of the butter that is flaring up my GERD has actually helped in this regard.

I still remember getting a library card when in grade school, then going into the library truck that came every week to school. That smell of books is still in my head!owensontheroadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12076915620668491771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-45286070396061294962017-10-27T08:26:28.259-04:002017-10-27T08:26:28.259-04:00What a hike!

I loved the hike with stairs and scrambled, up & down. Real hike that grants a sense of satisfaction that you have actually done something worthy. Loved the library too and could easily spend a day there just browsing or reading in one of those comfy chairs.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10739352885582343624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-27303052417947845452017-10-26T19:23:15.019-04:002017-10-26T19:23:15.019-04:00So sorry you missed the views, but you had the fun...So sorry you missed the views, but you had the fun of granite steps and scrambling the rocks!!

We have done hikes like that before but we are still happy to be out hiking. Kevin and I did the Acadia Mountain trail back in July of 2011 and loved it and lucky for us it wasn't foggy so we got to see those beautiful views. Hopefully you can do the hike again some other time.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.travelwithkevinandruth.com" rel="nofollow">www.travelwithkevinandruth.com</a>Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-16928718120710627942017-10-26T17:49:42.269-04:002017-10-26T17:49:42.269-04:00Butt hiking, I think any one who has hiked has don...Butt hiking, I think any one who has hiked has done it at one time or another.

And seems like you saved the most challenging one for last. Some of those drop offs were really steep and long -- I'd be resorting to butt hiking, too. It's a very good technique, especially for those of us on the shorter side. :-)) It was beautiful, even without views. I like your hiking schedule and really must reform my ways. It must be wonderful to be finished up early and have the rest of the day ahead to do other things. Eric would be really happy if I took lessons from you. :-)) Laurel (www.ravenandchickadee.com)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09133248112440273123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-91227497978673123992017-10-26T11:54:31.872-04:002017-10-26T11:54:31.872-04:00The CCC did such a amazing job building trails.

Butt hiking is very popular with me. I feel much better being closer to the ground when heading steeply down. Sorry to see all the fog but it did make for very pretty photos. Beautiful spiderweb:) Glad you at least got to peak at the water down below:) Lovely library! It definitely looks very inviting. Hope you returned to that rocker:)John and Pam (ohtheplacestheygo.wordpress.com)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10853924678665624403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-45518796881743206642017-10-26T10:42:25.350-04:002017-10-26T10:42:25.350-04:00Looks like a challenging hike.
