The trip was amazing. We hiked casually, taking breaks often, told lots of stories.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/web.colby.edu\/outingclub\/files\/2014\/11\/Alyssa-and-Kyle.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-960\" src=\"http:\/\/www.colby.edu\/outingclub\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/124\/2014\/11\/Alyssa-and-Kyle-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Alyssa and Kyle\" srcset=\"https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/outingclub\/files\/2014\/11\/Alyssa-and-Kyle-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/outingclub\/files\/2014\/11\/Alyssa-and-Kyle-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/outingclub\/files\/2014\/11\/Alyssa-and-Kyle.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>As we were almost done ascending the round mountain, we took a break at a scenic overlook scattered with rocks. Within the rocks, A PORCUPINE EMERGED!! The group was in awe. Pictures were taken, memories folded into our minds, and the porcupine receded into his warm bungalow.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/web.colby.edu\/outingclub\/files\/2014\/11\/View.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-958\" src=\"http:\/\/www.colby.edu\/outingclub\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/124\/2014\/11\/View-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"View\" srcset=\"https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/outingclub\/files\/2014\/11\/View-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/outingclub\/files\/2014\/11\/View-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/outingclub\/files\/2014\/11\/View.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>A special guest, YOB the Banana, joined us in our adventure to find the roundlieness of the top. Although he had a much more adventurous life than many other bananas, his body had to be consumed shortly after the hike. External and internal bruising turned his peel brown. He needed urgent remediation from this depraved physical state, so with my newly primed WFA certification, I assessed the hazards and consequences of this matter. I opened my mouth and my stomach\u2019s fluids welcomed his doughy substance with great pleasure. He had a good home in my digestive tract for a few hours.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/web.colby.edu\/outingclub\/files\/2014\/11\/Yob-the-Banana.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-959\" src=\"http:\/\/www.colby.edu\/outingclub\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/124\/2014\/11\/Yob-the-Banana-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Yob the Banana\" srcset=\"https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/outingclub\/files\/2014\/11\/Yob-the-Banana-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/outingclub\/files\/2014\/11\/Yob-the-Banana.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/web.colby.edu\/outingclub\/files\/2014\/11\/Nick-with-Yob.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-961\" src=\"http:\/\/www.colby.edu\/outingclub\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/124\/2014\/11\/Nick-with-Yob-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Nick with Yob\" srcset=\"https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/outingclub\/files\/2014\/11\/Nick-with-Yob-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/outingclub\/files\/2014\/11\/Nick-with-Yob.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Outside matters of YOB the Banana and a porcupine, the group had a fantastic time hiking. All matters of fun were explored, including, but not limited to: picture taking, whittling, cold, stories, makeshift spear throwing, snowballs, standing on ice, and climbing rocks. At the top of the mountain (it was a very round top), the group sat down for lunch. Though it was very cold to sit bundled in our warmest clothes, the view was fantastic, and the company was even better.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/web.colby.edu\/outingclub\/files\/2014\/11\/Greta-Eric-and-Nick-at-sign.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-962\" src=\"http:\/\/www.colby.edu\/outingclub\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/124\/2014\/11\/Greta-Eric-and-Nick-at-sign-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Greta, Eric, and Nick at sign\" srcset=\"https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/outingclub\/files\/2014\/11\/Greta-Eric-and-Nick-at-sign-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/outingclub\/files\/2014\/11\/Greta-Eric-and-Nick-at-sign.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This hike was like a round scoop of ice cream because of the roundness, the cold and the sweetness!
