​

I celebrated my 26th birthday in Texas on orders in "the great place" (Ft. Hood), which is actually just a great lie.  Ryan helped make up for lost time by taking me to Lake Monroe for a hike through the woods to the lake (one of the 3 lake Indiana has). I think it was about a 5-6 mile round trip walk through the woods, as one can hardly call the flat land of Indiana hiking. 

​

It MAY have been predetermined to find a private area of water to shed our clothes and dip in the water.  Well, it was private-ish. Not sure how much the small group down the shore could see, but they probably got a good show out of it.  

​

After all the fun Ryan and I had in the water, it a shame it was followed by an outstanding bout of poison ivy.
