...and don’t forget *THE ROCK*
This is a large and heavy stone that you have decided to bring with you for some reason. Maybe it has sentimental value, maybe it is a lucky charm, maybe it is a challenge or a joke. Whatever the reason, you have chosen to carry this extra weight with you on your hiking trip. It has no price, but it has a lot of meaning. Don't forget THE ROCK!
