Time for a Rest before Hike-about 9

Rest! Rest? If we are resting now, one could be forgiven for inquiring what activity we were pursuing earlier as shown in the pictures. We have yet to classify it. Unfortunately, one of the partners tends to be much lazier than the other. Set out below is a taste of that vigorous activity in which we engage, supposedly hiking:
