Wipe your face

Comic relief post. And a lesson to any future thru hikers... So before my hike, I talked to several women who had thru hiked before to get their advice and many of them suggested I take baby wipes with me. So I decided I would be EXTRA fresh and carry 3 different types of wipes: baby wipes, face wipes, and one by the brand of Summer’s Eve (Look that up if ya don’t know what they’re for) I divvied them up into ziplocs, labeled each with a sharpie and went on my merry way. Well, it only took about three days for the sharpie to smudge off the bags because EVERYTHING is moist out here ALL of the time, leaving me clueless as to which wipes were which... I decided in the end that they are probably all the same thing, right?!?! SO if you are having a hard day, feeling sad or lonely, please just envision a grown woman, sitting on a log in the middle of the woods, eyes closed, Summer’s Eve-ing her face... and smiling. #at2019 .

Oh, and if you don’t *like* the word “moist,” imagine *being* moist. All. Of. The. Time.
