<--- soak in the tub (use your imagination) with a glass of wine. This way I can sleep well and move the next morning. At my age, I need all the help I can get. (Tom, no comment, I mean it!! lol)

Well I hate beer, so thats out...Sometimes I eat before I get home, I hate being sweaty and dirty, so I ussually shower before I eat. On a rare occation if I'm really hungry I'll eat before I take a shower.

I am diggin this one back out cause I just saw it! I voted soakie bath! Nothin' like a nice hot soakie bath after a long hard hike!

I too usually eat on the way home 'cause I can't last till I get home. Besides I like to eat a nice big after hike dinner with my hiking partners before we all head to our respective homes as it just adds to the experience and gives us a chance to talk about the hike we just enjoyed and plan the next one!

Eat, have a beer, take a shower, take a look at a map of what I just did, and plan my next hike out.

Thanks to Tim (davis2001r) usually it has become beer and brats at the trailhead.

Well if I'm planning a long difficult hike, I usually have a cooler, grill and some brats and beer waiting in the car at the trailhead. Then when I get home I usually write up a trip report hit the shower then the bed. If I had a jucuzzi that would probably be the first thing I would hit when I got home.
