JJBerk Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Straight through highway drive with a couple dog pee stops, and people food breaks. Now we're in Ontario, near Kingston, for a family reunion. We'll head home Sunday. We expect about a 10 hour drive. And we did the return trip in 8:45. Hound dog was amazing!

SBT Posted August 16, 2016 Author Share Posted August 16, 2016 Nice photos. Do miss kayaking. Thinking about another one, though nothing like my VCP Skerrey - that was 17' of open ocean goodness. - Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlton603 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Heading to Acadia National Park on Sunday, for 3 nights. Seems like there is some decent hiking in the park. Does anyone have any suggestions for good trails? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBT Posted August 18, 2016 Author Share Posted August 18, 2016 Take the ferry over to Winter Harbor if you have a chance. Good eating, quiet little lobster village, and nice ambiance. - Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JF1GG29 Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 SBT, joist thinking about you randomly this morning while having coffee. It's been a while since your injury, how is everything coming along? Have you had the chance to get outdoors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBT Posted May 26, 2017 Author Share Posted May 26, 2017 Not much. I'm in PT, again, so hopefully will be through with this and back outside. Looking at my gear the other day and was sad that it's not getting used. - Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JF1GG29 Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 I'm not sure what your range of motion is like, but one thing that helped me to get back to >90% was doing a lot of yoga. The low-level usage and stretching did my ankle and ligaments wonders. When I stop doing it for a couple of weeks, I notice the difference. You might want to consider committing to doing it regularly to see how it affects you. I believe a lot of people do yoga for recovery and therapy these days. Plus, I didn't really mind being in a room full of relatively fit women. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBT Posted May 26, 2017 Author Share Posted May 26, 2017 Thanks, that's a great suggestion. Quads, Gluts and Ab/Aductors are out of whack. Swimming will help this and the pool will be opened this weekend, so will see how it goes. - fit women...not sure I'm ready for that just yet. - Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJBerk Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Camping at Wellesley Island on the St. Lawrence. It's a bit chilly, but until yesterday, we had the place to ourselves. This is where I belong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fox212 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Got out to Henry Coe SP for a couple nights back in April. Great spot for a quick trip in fall, winter, or spring. Gets pretty hot and dry in the summer though. It's been a pretty good year for me hiking-wise. Been on 4 trips so far, and have at least 3 more planned. Since being officially diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis I have re-prioritized some things in my life, and backpacking my butt off before I can't anymore is now very high on the list. I've been wanting to backpack at least every month for a year straight, but haven't accomplished that yet. I got Jan-April this year, but it looks like May is going to slip through my grasp. Got a new shelter and pack recently, and am very happy with both. In previous years I went pretty deep down the ultralight rabbit hole, but this year I added a couple pounds back in for the sake of comfort: large pad, actual pillow, framed pack, more robust cook kit, etc. In the end, I'm glad to carry the extra couple pounds for the enjoyment they add to my trip. Honestly I don't even notice the extra weight. Here's my gear list for anyone interested: Fox212's Gear List Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theGeneral Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 My kind of backpacking style? Cabin with electricity, running (hot and cold) water and a decent shower. Or an RV with those things. Being in a tent and having to go to the bathroom outside in the middle of the night? No chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fox212 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 If you have a floorless shelter, you don't even have to get out for #1. If your floorless shelter is large enough, same goes for #2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJBerk Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 I won't camp with out easy access to a bath house, with a hot shower. I'm NOT a minimalist - more of a wimp. But at least I camp. Or glamp.

fox212 Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 As long as you're getting out and enjoying yourself, it's all good! I love everything from cabins to RV's to car camping to backpacking...I just really like getting out to beautiful places with friends and family. We're going to Yosemite next week with a travel trailer and our 11-month old, meeting up with some long time friends who also have lil' babes. It'll be our boy's third camping trip - he loves it so far! Then in July I'm taking a couple of coworkers on a backpacking trip across Humphreys Basin in the Eastern Sierra Nevada. Should be interesting! And I never roll without TP Good eye, list updated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JF1GG29 Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 I love a minimal backcountry trip. You can get to some incredible places and have it all to yourself. For example, a day's hike in SeKi will get you here (not my pic): http://i.imgur.com/2adWKgw.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife and I did the Big SEKI loop in 2015 - What an incredible experience! Views like the above pretty much all the time. Being out for multiple weeks has a totally different feeling from shorter trips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
