According to this article at REI, “Type 2 fun is miserable while it’s happening, but fun in retrospect.”

At the end of October I did a 5-day backpacking trip with my friend Peter Vacco. Unfortunately our 3^rd hiking partner, Doug, had to cancel at the last moment to attend to a family matter. He may be glad he had to miss the trip after all, because Day 3 of this trip was definitely Type 2 fun.
