Later today, I'm leading 17 of my coworkers into the deep woods.

Everyone survived - I just got back. There were only a few things of note that I'll mention:

1. <skip this section for your own good, please> I had just gotten back from two hours at the gym when the hike started. Right before the hike, I had drunk a huge protein shake to help get back a little energy. I'm a little lactose-intolerant, but I figured I'd be ok. A few hundred yards into the hike, I had that nagging cramping that always indicates that explosive diarrhea will soon follow. While I've gone poo in the woods many many times, it still isn't something that I relish. So I had to make a unscheduled stop in the woods while everyone else started to panic, wondering where the "leader" went.

2. One of the idiots I was leading saw a snake, and picked it up. Thank goodness that it was non-venomous or this thread would have probably gotten real serious all of a sudden. Ironically, it was the one guy who I mentioned that I didn't get along with real well.

When they ask you what the axe is for, just say "bears."

When they ask you what the shovel is for, just say "it's a surprise."

I swear the following is true:
The person who asked me all the questions about the bears and snakes asked if I was going to carry a hatchet for safety sake. I don't remember my answer, but I'm betting if I said anything at all that it was right after my jaw dropped an inch or two.

I wonder how many bears she has actually killed with a hatchet...
