Haikus for Hitch Two by Meriden Vitale, Western Wildlands

Begin hitch number two
Food and wool in abundance
Big red is stuffed

Pack support HOORAY
Jess and mule soaked by creek
Two fire rings needed

Cut and run for days
Trees removed and biceps grow
Hike without tripping

Pancakes for dinner
Syrup Oreos SUGAR
Our crew is wired

Mosquitoes abound
Break becomes a time to kill
Who forgot the deet?

Nine days of labor
Back to invade Missoula
Longing for the woods

Take nothing for granted. Not one blessed, cool mountain day or one hellish, desert day or one sweaty, stinky, hiking companion. It is all a gift.
