Two Hiking Adventures
June 15, 2009 3:31 am TravelThere are day hikes, backpacking trips, and camping next to the car. But for a little bit more fun, why not consider one of the following hiking adventures.
1. Survival trek. If you learn to identify a few wild plants and bring along some fish line, a few nights in the woods trying to survive without carrying food from home can be quite an adventure. Be sure to try this in an area where you can’t get lost for long, and you’ll be fine. Nobody starves in a few days.
2. Mine hikes. We like to hike in areas where there used to be mining activity. Friends and I found more than a dozen abandoned mines in this way. If you choose to do more than take a few steps into them and shine a flashlight around, you are into dangerous adventuring.
