Oh, they’re on their way alright. They’ll start up okay. And then will come the first actual grade. Burl will trip on a root and pull his imaginary muscle. Jerry, who stopped three times already to catch his breathe, will remember that before going to great elevation, one should spend days accommodating to the thin air and will suggest they’ve done enough accommodating for one day. Dale, relieved that he won’t face starvation or be forced to beg catsup cups from the others because the Food Stuffs bags would, he was certain, be empty long before they reached half way, was on his way back down before Jerry finished talking. In Burl’s later account of the day, he was gravely injured in a climbing accident, and the others wouldn’t even carry his pack for him. He was lucky they others didn’t just step over his body, like those people who die on Everest. He how has the task of calling in injured to work for a week. Jerry will get Verla to massage the cramps from his legs, and we all know that will lead into territory best left unexplored.
that’s about the extent of camping and hiking here in japan, except that hikers aren’t as well equipped, only carrying soft drink bottles to chuck in the weeds along the trail… ☺
