max, did you go? what can you share? When I asked siri what the score was, she said "Kennesaw St. edged past Queens University in the second round by a score of 67 to 66 yesterday. My Spartans were victorious last night, although it looked very dicey in the first half and early second. However, they outscored the Cornhuskers by 25 in the second half so won by a score of 80-67. whew. The game with Minnesota that was postponed due to the tragedy on our campus has now been cancelled so we will have…

Quote from Traffic Jam: “Quote from Astro: “You know you are a hiker when ... sectionhiker.com/you-know-you-are-a-hiker-when-2022/ ” Those are great! I’ll add … You’re at a restaurant and stealthily stuff your pockets with small packets of condiments. ” Or you grew up during the depression. (my Mom was never a hiker but yes, she would take all the condiments, leftover rolls, breadsticks, crackers, etc) Quote from odd man out: “hope there isn't voter fraud like there was in the fat bear contest. …

Unless they've significantly upgraded the hostel, there's no freaking way it's worth $35/night. I stayed there in 2013; what a dirty hole of a place.

Quote from IMScotty: “Local story out near the Berkshires. They helped an old guy out of the woods before it got too cold last night. The video of the rescue is worth watching... boston.com/news/local-news/202…ed-in/?p1=hp_featurestack ” Good job by the rescue personnel! I agree with your description that the man was an old guy. I disagree with the reporter that he was elderly. Based on my observations of peeps currently and in the recent decades, here's my definition of peeps over 60: 60 - 69 y…

Quote from IMScotty: “If you do not understand the 'Wonder Bread;' reference, I guess maybe you had to grow up in the Northeast in the 1960's. ” or in the Midwest (Michigan) Quote from rhjanes: “While visiting my mom, she had out some photo's of my sister and I in our parka's from Alaska, sitting on a snow pile next to our driveway outside Detroit Michigan, probably 1964. The snow is above the roof of the car. ” Yes, I can confirm that was 1964. What fun that was. Although my Dad, an engineer wh…

Great report Scotty! And beautiful pics. Thanks for those of us midwesterners and southerners who are too far away to come winter backpacking/camping with you hardy yanks (or should I say New Englanders). A little laugh at the hat incident. I've done similar with other objects, normally my phone. The Sharing of the Cheese sounds like it would be delicious.

Quote from IMScotty: “A clip from a Boston Globe article (behind a paywall) on the most recent fatality. Lt. Kneeland (of NH Fish & Game) was quoted in the article speaking against people hiking alone. I understand his perspective as a rescuer, but I also confess I do not want to be part of a world where 'hiking alone' is considered unreasonable. Perhaps these hikers with no Winter experience should not have hiked without more experienced guidance, but I oppose any blanket provisions against hik…

Thanks guys for the suggestions. They are twist locks. So, first I will try cleaning. We've had snow each of the last 3 days and more to come later today; total of about 7+" so far. So yesterday my friend & I went snowshoeing on the golf course that she lives on. Pretty strenuous but enjoyable as we were the only ones out so beautiful and peaceful. Saw a lot of deer tracks and some others that were probably squirrels as they went to trees and ended there. Warmed up with some chai tea.

Met my friend at Mayberry State Park yesterday morning and we hiked 4.1 miles. Walked on some of the horse trails and they obviously haven't been out much lately as there was hardly any horse apples on the trail and what little there was, looked to be weeks, maybe months old. Only a handful of cars in the parking lot so we never saw another hiker until the last 1/2 mile and he was a jogger. I have Leki poles and one of them has stopped being tight so I can't get it to stay the length I need. Any…

Met a friend at Proud Lake Recreation Area and hiked 6 miles. 45*, this is winter?? quite a few cars in the parking lot, many people and dogs but was still peaceful out on the trail in the woods. And the pine smell was great!

I started out very well with my resolution to walk/hike at least a mile 5 days a week and at least 10 miles per week. That went well until mid February when the artic weather blew in, I was able to bear about 2 days of it but by the 3rd day, my resolve weakened and it was downhill from there, particularly because on February 11 my husband received a diagnosis of myelodispastic syndrome MDS, basically low platelets. After a second opinion and a couple more visits with 3 different doctors, he star…

Quote from odd man out: “Went for a 5.5 mile walk yesterday. The trail starts on a long wooden staircase going up and down a dune and ends at a secluded beach. As walking on the stairs, i saw a small fox dart under the wooden boardwalk right below me. It was only a few feet away but I just got a quick glimpse of it before it disappeared under the deck so i couldn'tget a pic. I don't remember the last i saw a fox. appalachiantrailcafe.net/index…2dbb28e2364de4e18c5fdb7e1 ” I love walking along a b…

9am it's 14 degrees but windchill makes it fee like 0. Just finishing up breakfast and getting ready to head out for my walk.

I have Eddie Bauer down mitts. I love them. When I go out on my walks, I wear smartwool gloves with the down mitts over them. Then as I warm up, the mitts go in my pockets. This week I've been walking in weather in the teens with a lower windchill. I also wear them as I drive to work in the chilly, well way below freezing, weather. I wish someone, hubby/daughter, would buy a gift for me to put on my steering wheel to make it comfortable to hold with only a pair of gloves on. As far as hats, I bo…

Quote from Trillium: “Quote from Traffic Jam: “I set goals instead of making resolutions... maybe it’s the same thing but psychologically, it works better for me. I usually have something in mind but this year I haven’t thought about it. This year has been hard so I’ve been doing short term, monthly goals to keep myself on track. ” I like this wording better. Goals rather than resolutions. I don't want to set an unreasonable goal so I'm going to say that I'm aiming to walk at least a mile a day …

Quote from LIhikers: “I'm still hoping for snow ” Me too. We've had almost no snow this season. What we got last weekend was only about 1/2" average; at our house, a little less; up where we hiked at the State Park, a little more. I've never been snowshoeing and my sister said she'd take me when we get enough snow. So, snow, where are you?

Quote from Astro: “Always appreciate Andrew Skurka's reasonable approach. My goal for 2021 is part of number 6 of his 7 steps, gaining more fitness before I hit the AT this summer, knowing much of it is the hardest parts there are. Planning more exercise and hikes. especially as things warm up in the Spring, and then a week or so trip like the Bartram Trail in June. Also try to moderate my diet better too, with goal of "relatively" leaner, stronger, and lighter body going up and down those rocky…
