any cysters up for backpacking?From: jodi (anonymous@obgyn.net)Sun, 1 Apr 2001 12:03:48 -0500 (CDT)
i was going to title this "anyone up for backpacking" but realized that might look like spam. :) anyway i am back from my little backpacking venture with my boyfriend. due to threats of really bad weather, we cut the trip from 3 nights/4 days to 2 nights/3 days. it was still pretty awesome, except that there was 6 inches of snow on the ground and we had to pretty much break our own path the whole way... not at ALL what i was expecting. i've been on this trail even earlier in the season and never seen snow on it before. oh well!!! i did take my tweezers, but i didn't pluck at all. i kept touching my chin and wondering how bad it looked... and i did move my boyfriend's hands every time they ventured anywhere near my chin... but i didn't pluck, nor did i even get a look at myself until i was back in the car on the last day. didn't look TOO bad... it felt worse than it looked. then i plucked like hell once we finally got home. (anyone else find that when you let it go a few days, it's easier to get most of the hair, cuz you can see more of it and get a better grasp... and anyone else find themselves everytime that happens wishfully thinking "i got it all!!! THAT'LL teach hair not to grow on my chin!" only of course it always comes back anyway, as you know it will... *sigh*...) ANYWAY. i am already looking forward to my next trip. :) there is a trail here in southwestern PA that is 70 miles long and i would really like to do the whole thing this summer. my bf won't be around because he got a summer internship on the other side of the country... and there aren't many people i know that i can scare into doing this with me. of the few i can scare into it... well, i don't know if i would be comfortable letting my whiskers show around them. (i am going backpacking in NH as soon as finals are over, but that is with two friends i would be comfortable around with this little problem... and that's only one trip to look forward to, not enough for the summer at all!!) so today i was reading backpacker magazine as i was doing laundry, and i thought... it would be really awesome to go backpacking with other PCOS'ers! there's got to be other cysters who are backpackers, or would like to be. is there??? maybe we could start a little PCOS backpackers club. we could enjoy the outdoors and not have to worry about our damn body hair. we wouldn't have to pluck. we could even wear SHORTS and be comfortable for once. so... is there anyone remotely near western pennsylvania who would be up for some backpacking, either some weekends until mid may, or some bigger trips during the summer??? i'd really like to do that 70 mile trail (laurel highlands hiking trail if you want to know exactly what i am talking about) but i'd be up for anything, anywhere within reason. (west virginia has some awesome places, for example... and i'm up for anything in new england so long as the trip would be long enough to justify the drive... so pretty much anywhere in the northeastern quarter of the US is fair game in my mind.) hopefully, someone will reply.. i'd love to get a little backpacking club going among us, if anyone is at all interested. :) (please reply to the board as i almost never check my AOL account...) (also, if you are intersted in backpacking but have no gear/experience, that's ok! you can rent packs and sleeping bags pretty cheaply, and i have a stove, water filter, and a decent bit of back country knowledge...) - jodi
