Hiking with Strangers

I am planning a two night backpacking trip to the coast over Memorial Day Weekend. Since I am a member of a hiking group on meetup I posted an all points bulletin looking for a hiking buddy. One person from the east coast, someone I don’t know, responded.

Seema, want to come? We could all meet for the first time!

Meetup is an odd webspace. You go online and then spend most of your time in the flesh with the group. This is a Good Thing. Unlike Myspace or certain other online dens of … whatever people do in them.

I’d love to go but I’ve hurt my foot. There will be no hiking for me in the near future. Wah!

Awwwww.

Hope foot feels better.
