I'm proud of myself
I did it, everyone. I did it! I walked the Old Man's Cave trail Before anyone gets too excited no I didn't do the full 6 miles. I did the northern loop which is about a mile. I didn't need help except on two of the natural stairs areas where a step was just SO far down (my brother and his friend TT helped as needed) I did learn there is an early out for the trail (that my SiL had to take as she wasn't entirely well today) which is before those two areas and honestly that's fine because you'd get the gorgeous waterfall area and the devil's bathtub before that spot.
The cave is actually a shelter cave and the area was named for an old hermit living there in the early 1800s. But I made that walk and was mostly asymptomatic. Occasionally I had to stop but that was more the asthma than anything (SiL scolded me when I got to the top, where's your inhaler. Back at the cabin because I make good choices)
We also went to lunch and picked up dinner (so we didn't have to go out in the middle of the night again) We tried Rock House (I had suggested Conkle's Hollow lower trail because I've never done it and I've heard it's easy peasy and Rock House isn't). We didn't manage it. Got about a half mile in and then the thing went steep. Now on the way back to the car the leg became very symptomatic.
We were back at the cabin by two and stayed since we're paying buku bucks for this place and it's lovely (maybe pictures tomorrow or thursday) Also there's not much else to do but hike around here. I'm proud of myself by the way for getting through all this.
Now I'm less proud of not figuring out the roku tv. To be fair they have five remotes lined up and the label said use only the Roku one (then why have out the others) I got it on but I couldn't make it go to any apps but did manage to get it onto Crunchyroll by accident. Want to start your 14 day free trial? NO! Can't get back out of it. Turned it off and back on...and watched 1 episode of Chainsaw Man on Crunchyroll because it wouldn't let me out. Eyeroll.
They had a Star Wars pinball machine. I was super excited for it only...it's one with Rey and it's digital. No real ball. It just doesn't feel right. It wasn't nearly as fun as using a real ball (I still did good with it. I'm good with pinball usually).
Couldn't check in until 4 but our asses have to be out by 10...tip box for your cleaners. Dudes you're charging us 300$ to clean this place, I think you can afford to pay your cleaners. Still, super gorgeous place. I never get to do this since well...I live 55 miles away and you have to rent these cabins for 2-3 days min usually and they're like 300/night and up. Can hardly justify that when I live an hour away. However I always wanted to come out and write in a cabin and this week I'm getting to do it.
Also found the Coffee Emporium which had better selections AND better coffee than anything in my area and now I'm jealous.
bbl with tidbit and word count. Yay I finished the last big fight scene. Now I have to figure out how to deal with the mastermind behind all of this but now I'm worried about how without it being anticlimatic. guh.
