YEE-HA!

So a Lithuanian, an Irishman, a Brit, two
Taiwanese, five Americans, and two dogs go
hiking Sounds like the opening of a very
politically incorrect joke, no? Nah, its just
the most recent event of the A-KICKING
ADVENTURE CLUB!!! We hiked at Turkey Run in
Virginia and then, thirsting for more, hiked part
of the Billy Goat Trail in Maryland!

We learned a lot on our hikes this weekend. To
sum up, you havent been a-kicking if you
havent

• Been on two hikes in two states on the same
  day!!!
• Heard your hike leader (Lee) say, I have no idea
  where the trail is, I dont have a map, and last
  time I was here it didnt look like this
• Driven with Jack and Yuna from McLeanto
  McLeanvia Key Bridge
• Discussed the finer points of the Breton, Welsh,
  and Anglo-Saxon languages on the trail (David,
  Jesh, et al.)
• Seen Jesh defy the laws of physics with a tennis
  ball
• Seen Annie plunge down a sheer 50-foot embankment
  and into the canal to retrieve said tennis ball
• Participated in a footrace on perfectly smooth,
  flat ground, in which both runners inexplicably
  fall down (Jesh and Dan)
• Wondered what kind of bird sheds bright purple
  feathers, in Maryland
• Seen a family out hiking with their pet cockatiel
  (incidentally not the source of the mysterious
  purple feather)
• Held a motion-sick, vomiting dog (Ty) out the
  window of a moving car

We interrupt this Back-to-Office Report to bring
you a NEWS FLASH This just in

then)
