Trailhead Parking
PostQuote from IMScotty: “Rented a Toyota Carmry this weekend and mmostly enjoyed the experience except for one major problem... the 'Driver's Assist Technology.' Good grief, I get nagged enough at home, I certainly do not want a car that starts beeping at me if I cross a line. Since all the car companies are doing this it looks like I will never buy a new car again. ” I can relate to what Scotty wrote and feel very much the same way.

PostI too played sports, football in the fall (defensive lineman) and ran track in the spring where I ran high hurdles, low hurdles and 1 leg in the mile relay. In my school being a jock didn't get you any extra consideration when it came to academics.

PostQuote from Traffic Jam: “It’s stupid but I also took a pic of my favorite, insulated coffee container. One of my favorite things in winter is to hike with my hot coffee. I hold my coffee cup with one hand, sipping as I hike, and a trekking pole in the other. ” I'm a big coffee drinker, I should try carrying a thermos.

Took a walk today
PostYesterday saw us back on the Long Path for 8 miles. 26 degrees when we started and 32 when we finish. The sky was gray all day with a high, 100% overcast, and there was a moderate breeze. One photo I can share appalachiantrailcafe.net/index.php/Attachment/13438/

Trailhead Parking
PostActually I'm toying with the idea of having the wife's 1978 VW bus converted to have a Subaru engine installed. Just like the VW engine the Subaru engine is a 4 cylinder, horizontally opposed, engine and it has a lot more horsepower than the VW engine. I doubt it'll happen though as I think the money would be better spent on a new vehicle.

PostQuote from jimmyjam: “Tough to beat a Subaru. Unless you want a full size truck, then get a RAM or GMC. ” My 2002 Subaru Forester is still going just fine with 424000+ miles. Sure I spend for regular maintenance but that's cheaper than payments for a new car. Nothing unreasonable has gone wrong or been replaced. Kathy thinks she'd like a mini-van but if we go that route I'd hope to find one with all wheel drive and seats that stow into the floor so we could have a flat floor behind the front sea…

Quote from Rasty: “I think you will be very happy with the Double Rainbow. ” Rasty, it's good to hear from you, I hope all is well. Based on the success of the 2 other Tarptent.com tents we have I'm expecting this one to be just as good. We have a Rainbow for when either Kathy or I go out solo, a Rainshadow for when Kathy, me, and the dog all go together and now the Double Rainbow for just me and Kathy.

Quote from Astro: “Quote from max.patch: “Quote from LIhikers: “Yep, I don't handle the heat well. I've been to the hospital emergency room twice, over the years, for heat stroke. ” As one who grew up in Florida, I have no doubt that if I attempted the dog sled trip you and wife took in MN that you told us about I would have ended up in the ER. Or worse.Tip -- don't plan on hiking GA in August. ” I have hiked in GA in late July and on into NC in early August. Not a problem for me, but just like …

Quote from max.patch: “Quote from Dmax: “My wife got her shot on Monday. She said only 45% of the nurses took the vaccine at her facility. ” That makes no sense to me. You'd think people -- especially medical professionals -- would know better. ” Maybe they do....they may know something we don't, but who am I to say.
