Today, I went hiking in the Great Falls - a park that flanks the Potomac on both sides and provides many opportunities for outdoorsy fun that is either too extreme for me or almost so. Against my protests, we took the trail rated "strenuous" by the National Park Service, due to the amount of scrambling it requires. However, there was pretty much no elevation change, so it really wasn't very strenuous at all, I just had to use my hands to balance and slide down rocks on my behind when I was too afraid to jump down. I made a fuss before going on the most extreme part of the trail, but with the rough texture of the rocks providing lots of footholds, it was actually easier than it looks.
Mid-hike, we stopped in a beachy area and my companions disregarded the signs that cautioned against swimming while I waded near the shore.
In the evening, I helped make and eat a yummy dinner at my coworker's new apartment, which wasn't very extreme, but fun nonetheless.
