Day 25: Snowballs and Winter



Hope everyone is having a good winter! I am sneaking this post in after the fact, because I found a memory card on it with some photos from later in February!

Day 14: Valentines Day

Today we got a good dose of snow for Southern Illinois. I went for a nice run through the woods during most of the flurries. By nightfall, we ended up accumulating only several inches, but it made the campus beautiful!  Hope everyone has been able to spend the day with someone they love, or doing something they love! I love my Mountain Khakis, which now have a hole in them from mountain biking... I should figure out a way to keep the cuffs from getting snagged on the chain wheel...


Yeah... it's ugly. The threads hang out everywhere, but hopefully Mom can patch it up when I go home!

I haven't been on top of the photos, but will bring the camera along soon!

Day 4: Trails!

I'm still figuring out what day this is (because I wear my MK's pretty much every day) Because it's February 4th we'll call it day 4...

Today I hit the trails with a buddy and we had a fun-filled backwoods ride with everything from muddy
  trails to frozen sections of ice, to some open water we didn't want to ride through...

Of course, our MK's kept our legs warm in the low-30's... We're expecting snow tonight!

Day 1: The Adventure Begins!

100 Days in Mountain Khakis?! People have already called it a crazy idea, but I kind of like it. Why wear one pair of pants for 100 days? Well, because I can! MK's are quality-built to withstand abuse, and I'm looking forward to putting them through through everything I go through- from streams, ravines, and fields to up climbing walls, into trees, in caves, and on bikes.

Right now I only own one pair of MK's- the Original Mountain Pant; if I get another pair, or some Teton Twill shorts, I will count wearing those during the 100 days. Posts won't come each and every day, but I will try to post frequent enough to give you an idea of what's going on. I love to include photos in my posts, so with being a busy college student I will try to do that as often as I can! Check back for updates, photos, and reviews!

Peace,

Christian
