An Inexpensive Hobby
One of my favorite things about hiking is that it doesn’t cost a lot. I got hooked on this hobby as a college student when a group of us sat in a dorm room having yet another discussion about what to do given our cash shortage. Someone suggested we head out to a local mountain for a hike, and it soon became a tradition. I quickly learned that my running shoes simply wouldn’t cut it for the muddy conditions we often encountered and I was therefore thrilled when I stumbled on a pair of discount hiking boots at a sporting goods store. Now my hiking excursions are both comfortable AND affordable!
