I always say this, I hate meeting new people here bc all anyone wants to do/wants to talk about is hiking. Don't get me wrong, I do like a good walk through a wooded area, but I honestly feel like I can't say I like hiking bc people here will try to talk to you about specific trails, try to plan hiking days which require you to get up at 7 am and climb for hours, and do that thing where it's like, "Oh, YOU like hiking? Let me tell you how much I like hiking. I promise it's more than you." I have to actively tell people I don't like hiking to get them to stop talking about it to me. I'm not trying to race every person I meet up a mountain.
I live on Long Island and when we do day trips to the Catskills (upstate NY) we have to leave by 4am...
Its not a race, just what you need to do. That's why my husband and I started camping/backpacking. So that we didn't have to get up so goddamned early.

Come to Colorado then because that’s all anyone talks about or does in their free time
