Quote from Ewok11: “I don't begrudge anyone whatever kind of exercise they're getting, indoor or outdoor.

I applaud the people who make it work. I also think the city I live in doesn't…

Quote from LIhikers: “Yesterday I rode my bicycle to work and home with no problems. Today as I'm wheeling it across a parking lot, on my way to my local bike shop I see the rear wheel has quite a wobble. The plan was to replace the stem with an adjustable one, to raise the bars a little, but now the rear wheel needs to be trued, or possibly replaced because it's that bad. I don't remember hitting any big holes or bumps, it's a mystery to me. ” Quote from jimmyjam: “I'm still a daredevil riding …

Awaiting Frankopan’s ‘The Silk Roads, A New History of the World’ on the local library’s reserve list. However while doing so, started L. T. Ryan's Jack Noble series. Very lightweight summer reading. May not continue reading the series.

Was given a half full bottle of Fireball...a cinnamon enhanced whiskey. It does wonders as an added ingredient for apple pie. Not so much for sippin.

Class act.

While I frequently hike overnight with a mature canine companion, I don’t take her on extended hikes involving challenging landscapes or the potential for weather extremes. Kudos for the rescuers. Hopefully the hikers will make a sizeable contribution to a tribute BBQ in gratitude.

You use a good headlight. Had one for several months until it was lifted during a library stop. Should have removed it prior.

Quote from jimmyjam: “I'm going to do something, I just don't know what or when. How's that for a plan? ” One of the NCOs that worked with us was fond of saying ‘Plan A goes to he.. with the landing of the first mortar round, than you’d better have a Plan B, C, and at times a D. However my hiking plans have not survived the events of the past few years. Therefore it’s been a catch as I can.

Similar experience in southern Missouri. The floating tent concept appears to require sufficient anchoring to prevent a stiff breeze from propelling It across a lake.

Quote from jimmyjam: “Raining it's butt off here, second day in a row. Supposed to rain for the next two days. I wish I had set up one of my tarps in the backyard so I could go get under it and listen to the rain. I guess I'm a little wierd like that. Anybody else like the rain like that? ” Like the sound of rain pelting a metal roof. Used to sleep in a hammock on a porch with such a roof.

I've studied it for a possible extended hike, but I wish to thru the AT prior to another major hike. And yes it poses the challenge of considerable road walking. But Wisconsin does offer great brats, cheese, and other foods. I also hear the beer is not too bad.

Cubs snowed out...and I had tickets.

Just a few years ago, I recall reading the Campmor paper catalog, marking items for further research. The well used Kelty down bag came from Csmpmor as will as several items of base and outer wear.
