Remember Whensday

This photo is not the best ever made, but it is of me and my daughter, Becca in April 1989. She was the only girl in Girl Scout Troop 147 who wanted to go backpacking. I found a council sponsored two day trip hiking the Appalachian Trail near Cleveland, Georgia. We went to two evening training sessions, where they taught the basic things we needed to know about hiking, and gave us a list of what to bring.

I was a little apprehensive about it because I was not the most athletic person even way back then. But, I hiked for two days, carried my own pack and part of tent, and even climbed down a root ladder about 80 feet! Our guide got us lost, and we wandered around for a couple of hours in mountain laurel that was taller than me. We finally got to the place we were supposed to be to meet our ride back home. I was really proud of myself, but alas, this is the only picture that survived.

    I bet your daughter still has fond memories of the trip. And you should be proud of what you accomplished during the trip.

    BTW – we picked up a new box of Honey Nut Chex cereal and on the front of the box in bold letters it says "Now Gluten Free!" I immediately thought of you.

    Hi Fab Grandma. Loved this memory post. Thanks for sharing!

    I'm also sooo envious that you thought of using "remember whensday" — I wish I'd thought of that. Love it.

    I've been following your blog for a while. Found it on RV Blogs, where our blog is one of those featured along with yours.
