An Eventful Hike
The sun had not yet risen when Sidney, my German Shepherd, and I loaded up to go for a hike. I knew it would be a long day. My goal was to reach the trail head by no later than 6:30 am. The hike itself would be a rough one. The trail to Pine Creek Lake is labeled at the trail had as 4.5 miles with nearly 3600 feet of elevation gain. The average length of time it took hikers was around eleven hours according to hiking reports. Those same reports claimed the trail was both longer and steeper than the trailhead claimed. Sidney and I like to hike and while this sounded like a long rough day, I was excited to take on the challenge.

The Fever
When the fever came it did not tip toe. Nor did it stalk slow circles around me like a cat playing with a mouse. It struck swiftly seizing me too quickly to decide whether I wished to fight or flee from it. Though, I suppose there is no escape from illness, only the option to try to endure it, to outlive it. If one wishes to survive such illness at all that is. However, this fever I had undoubtedly been the cause of and at the time I hadn’t been sure I had wanted to bear it at all.
