20 mile hike

     Today we went on a 20 mile hike, well more of a 12 mile hike that got interrupted and changed directions. My weekend started last  night when I went to work at 1:00. I did this so I could head down to McCreary County that night, so we didn't have to leave at 6:00 in the morning to be at Cumberland Falls at 8:00 am. To finish our 20 mile hike before sunset... So I got picked up around 9:00 went back to the house everyone finished packing and taking showers. We left our place at 9:00, ended up at the other volunteer house by 11:00.  We ended up having a slumber party in the school building and slept on cots and read children's books before bed.  It was a cute girl's night. Then we all got up by 7:00 to go hiking by 8:00 at Cumberland Falls. The plan was to go from trail one to trail 2 to another trail until we finish 20 miles. But before we finished trail 1 my roommate fell and twisted her ankle. So we headed back to the volunteer house and set her up on a couch.  Then we head out to trail 10 and finished at least two trails. Our 20 mile hike turned into a 11 mile hike. and ended at a couple of craft stores. Besides being tried and worn out it was worth it. Now I need to jet because out volunteers showed up to our house to chill and bake cake.
