The hiking life is pretty simple. You hike, eat, sleep and not much else. Yesterday I got to my campsite, set up my tent, ate my dinner, and snuggled into my sleeping bag around 6:30 PM. I dozed off and woke at 8:30. I normally wake around 5 AM so I was surprised to have overslept. I got up and started doing my morning things including taking my medicine, getting my socks and shoes on, and packing a few things up. Suddenly I realized that it wasn’t 8:30 AM, but it was only 8:30 PM and still light out. How could I be so out-of-it not to realize this! So I unpacked, took off my shoes and socks, and went back to bed. Sheesh!
I don’t know quite what to say–I felt so bad for you but at the same time it did make me chuckle too.
Best story ever! I’m sure it’s wasn’t exactly fun at the time, but I think most of us can relate to the feeling 🙂
At least you got back to sleep 😉
Set your watch to military 24 hour time and never mistake 20:00 for 08:00 again 😉
Ha ha ha, good one, thanks for that suggestion
