Summer in Wisconsin: The Northwoods Experience: Day 67

Man was today hot! I was laughing at how hot it was Ohio while I enjoyed the nice weather in Wisconsin and let me tell you, it came back and bit me! Much like when everyone was laughing about how it was cold here and snowing on my first day and the following weekend it was cold in Ohio. I still remember that. I should have learned my lesson of karma!

Anyway, the heat didn't stop me! I decided to finally go out and hike the bear skin trail today. I did not get too far because I had at least 5 deer flies follow me for about 3 miles straight (as in, the whole time I walked). If it weren't for the flies annoying the living crud out of me I would have continued walking. The other thing affecting me was the heat; I actually felt slightly heat exhaustion and so when I was done I drank a ton of water (and Sunny D). Mmmmm...watermelon flavored Sunny D = Surprisingly Good.

Once my walk was over with I actually ended up getting a few groceries before talking to the boyfriend for a good hour. I have to admit, it was the longest I have chatted with anyone on the phone and we probably could have kept talking had he not been tired. It was past his bed time which is hard to remember when you're an hour behind Ohio time. 8pm here is no problem for me but when 9pm is your bedtime in Ohio then you get tired fast. My own bedtime is approaching soon (10 minutes actually) so I too will probably start reading a book for a while before hitting the hay.

The remainder of my day was spent mostly playing facebook games, hanging out in the AC, and deciding which portion of the bed I wanted to lay on. Needless to say nothing much was going on but the walk was surely worth it because it made me feel 100% better about life again. I saw some pretty sights which I took pictures of and have posted below for everyone to view. I was growing bored of Wisconsin's scenery in all honesty but hiking the Bearskin Trail rejuvenated the beauty of this state and gave me some inner peace! :)
