forgot something for hiking

Sad, I have heard many stories of some telling their tales that they forgot something for a trip. I alway thought that would never happen to me because I always double check everything.
This morning I got ready early so I would not disturb the wife. Made a map for her so she would know where I was going, she worries. Put the pack in the truck and cinched up the boots, I was ready to hike up Smith Mountain. Hit the trail and after a mile I had to retighten my boot, stuff happens. Now a mile latter I had to do the left foot again. Looking down at my boots this is what I saw.

I will never doubt that things do happen. So after double checking everything check your boots!

Just thought I would share and the hike up Smith Mountain was a CRUNCH!

Thanks for sharing. That is funny.

They are a similar color and if they felt similar without too much noticeable height difference one probably wouldn't notice when in a hurry to put them on.

Hope you had a real nice hike.

Great hike for me, first time up Smith. The older one needed more lugs on it coming down from Smith but no major slips. :)
