Outdoors - Fishing/Hunting/Hiking/Etc


Recommended Posts

Highly recommend the right shoes for hiking. I have one pair of hiking boots but generally prefer hiking shoes. I got a pair of Merrell trail runners for my trip to Africa. Super comfortable. Think light weight sneakers with good traction. Those and my keen sandals were all I needed for 2 weeks. 

Wife and I hiked Lions Head in Cape Town yesterday.

They do look comfy, and they have to be next to the standard issue boots...or the jump boots...or the jungle boots...

Look like they'd be kinda warm on the feet though...Waterproof?

Upon further research, not waterproof. Ugh. Took them back today and got some actual hiking shoes that are waterproof and made for hiking.

Shrooms are still there in the rain, Sugar. 

Some of my most pleasant times in the woods, Lt Dan shroom hunting! All the pussy (willows) are at home on the internet… less competition. lol

I’ve had a set of parents floating by with 7, the last week. 
I just noticed that there’s only 3. 
I’m hoping that’s it’s a different family…. 

So another park here has a couple ponds with about a dozen geese. Curiously no hatchlings? I’m thinking this guy might have something to do with it.😫

Picked up my wife yesterday after her stint on the Appalachian Trail. She hiked 153 miles in 9.5 days, an average of 16.2 per day.

The pics are of her finishing up.

Actually I did play once and hit balls a few times. I also met her a couple times to resupply her with food and a change of clothes.

I love this!!!!!  Why didn’t you join?

I have to shower everyday. She will go 5-6 days without showering. A couple of times when I have picked her up she has been pretty ripe, and not in a good way. She has completed 758.8 miles a little over 1/3 of the way. Hopefully I will still be alive when she finishes.
