    The end of a long journey

    Wow! Mohamed! What a GREAT thing to hear!! Me?, I get a little knee pain and all I want to do is sit around and wait for it to feel better. It certainly doesn't sound like you have that "lay down and just die" attitude! I've seen a lot of my elders give up and succomb to their ailments. Sad...

    Second time man needs to be rescued by helicopter

    These kids are young and obviously adventurous. It seems to me that the authorities, rather than just reprimanding them and sending them on their way, might not only benefit the kids, but themselves and others concerned by providing the kids with some outdoor courses. It's easy for us all to...

    Headache while hiking. If not dehydration, then what?

    Hmmm, this is the SECOND time I've heard this in only days apart! I'm beginning to wonder if I should have chosen to hike with Chris to the Bonds for FOT48 after all!! :eek: :D Cymbidium: Nuun is a "portable electrolyte hydration". It's sugar free and that's why I prefer it. I am like New...

    Headache while hiking. If not dehydration, then what?

    I too was getting a lot of headaches. I found that if I was over exerting myself, or if I was over heated that it would happen more often. I felt I was drinking enough water, but still got the headaches. Apparently what I needed were the electrolytes. I now always carry a nalgene with a tab of...

    Pesky Rash

    I too am getting that!! Not near as bad as you though, ouch! I was going to try putting some ointment on before I started hiking this weekend, but we never ended up going. I thought it would work like a preventative maintenance. I wasn't sure if it was the socks causing the problem, or not, but...

    Lost Leki Pole

    Sad Day for Leki Wow! It must have been a bad day for Leki's! My husband Russ and I gave two thru-hikers a ride to the MW Auto Road yesterday from DQ in Glen and one of the hikers only realized he was missing his poles when he was getting out of our truck. :eek: We called DQ for him, but they...

    Yes, the showers are definately a benefit! Certainly, if you see me on the trails give me a shout! My husband and I are out just about every weekend and we enjoy meeting new people very much. We are often hiking with my 14 year old stepson as well so as a trio, along with my red hair (lol), we...

    "Glamping" - Enticing new campers into the woods

    I am not too sure I understand the idea of "getting out" if you're simply going to do the exact same thing you do at home sitting on your sofa, but to each their own. The one thing I do dislike is that the charge in these campgrounds are the same for all. This weekend we spent $36 including a...
