OUTDOOR LIFE - Page 2

Medusa · 03-30-2010, 09:24 AM

Jack and I both love to fish (catch and release only!) and one of my goals this year is to lose enough weight so that I can be more mobile than I am.

I want to be able to climb Pinnacle mountain or run in the Susan G Komen in October. I could probably do it now but not without some serious strokage.

Anything to be outdoors in the sunshine and breeze! WOOT!

I would love it if we could get a camper trailer again. We had a blast taking it out to the lake and grilling and such.

dixie · 03-30-2010, 09:37 AM

I love the outdoors! I get laughed at because I keep a tent, screen room, and foldup camp chairs in my truck or car year round. Ya never know when that urge is gonna hit! lol

I live in Western North Carolina, so I drive to Cherokee and hop on the Parkway. I will camp and hike my way from Cherokee up to the Shenendoah Valley in Virginia. It's so beautiful up there. I especially like hiking waterfalls.

I will go primitive if I have to, but I do prefer that there is a bathroom somewhere!! lol I usually load up coolers full of stuff, because I love charcoal grilling. Other than that, yes, I will throw a hotdog on a stick over an open fire. They just seem to taste better that way! lol I also take my Coleman stove and some skillets, for pancakes and bacon/sausage in the mornings. I guess I am a bit spoiled, even when camping! lol

I'm a bit of an amateur photog who specializes in nature photography, so I'm always in the woods, even if it's just up in the hills behind my house.

There's just nothing better than being on a trail on a warm breezy day...

I would love to get a camping trip organized for those of us here in the South... I'd like to get over to Arkansas a little more often. I love the Heber Springs area!

Sachita · 03-30-2010, 12:02 PM

I think NYS is by far one of the prettiest states in the US or at least where I have traveled. I havent been many places out west other then CA and OR.

I lived in NY for years. If the winters were more mild and not as long I would move back. I miss the gorges, streams, lakes, orchards, waterfalls and the people are tolerant. Not sugary and sweet like the south but more accepting and basically dont give a shit.

Darth Denkay · 03-30-2010, 06:55 PM

Let me clarify...

Yes, there are outdoors in TN - middle and east. Here in west, not so much. Now, we've got several nice parks so hiking can be done. But I want the mountains, the rivers, the forests, the caves, of East TN.

One of the reasons I can't wait to move east is so I can get back into the outdoors. Kayaking, camping, spelunking, hiking, climbing...

Boots13 · 03-30-2010, 07:40 PM

I dont have much experience camping on the east coast, although I did enjoy some fabulous trail runs in Massachusetts (Goat Peak?) and also in Connecticut.

But the Northwest and Alaska...now THAT'S a different story

I've been getting the itch for some fishing too !

Fancy · 03-31-2010, 06:54 AM

I couldn't agree with you more!

Speaking of NY, we are having awesome Spring weather for the next several days. I can't wait to take a long hike and shake off the stress of the week.

Well it has arrived.. the first day of Fishing is here. I just got home from work.. but before I came home I took a drive up the road along the creek here.. and it is just packed with fisher-people.. also the weather has cooperated. .and we are at 84 degrees right now.

I am working a half day tomorrow.. and My plan after that is to put the pole in the water..

I hope everyone on the thread... is enjoying the outdoors today in some form or another.

Fancy · 04-03-2010, 07:31 AM

Just about to go on a long hike today and hope to find a few geocaches in the process. The weather is awesome!

Come get Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. *laughs*.. you have to let us know later.. what you came across.

I on the other hand.. after doing some errands this morning.. will be heading out to do some fishing. Hopefully I will come back with a "it was THIS big" story.. *laughs*

Everyone get outdoors today.. it is a beautiful day.

mountainbikedyke · 04-03-2010, 07:55 AM

Hey y'all! I hope you have a great day doing something outside. Raining here today and was supposed to start a freelance job, but that may not happen now. I guess I'll HAVE to go hit a trail for two...

Boots13 · 04-03-2010, 09:26 AM

Its cold, overcast, windy, the ground is soaked from the
torrential downpour we had yesterday...downed trees and limbs everywhere!

Yep, another Summer day in Seattle.

I'm thinking a trail run or hike if the wind doesnt pick up again. The north end got hit with a 62 mph wind yesterday. Mother Nature sneezed...

Fancy · 04-04-2010, 06:43 AM

We definitely need to come your way during one of our day trips. I bet there are even some geocaches near your favorite fishing spots!

Yesterday consisted of 1.5-2 miles on and around the Erie canal tow path, and two out of three caches found.

Today, even though it's a little cooler looks to be just as nice. I hope to get my "chores" done so I can go out and play in the yard.

Happy Easter & Happy Spring!

Sachita · 04-04-2010, 07:32 AM

The temp hit 90 the other day here in southern va. I am dying to get out in it. I've been bogged down with all inds of stuff which is why I havent been around. I/m a week behind in my garden too.

But I'm thinking about taking the kayak out for a few hours. I hope the water has warmed up enough. I dont normally go off out in the lakes alone but since its a holiday I'm sure tons of people will be out. Otherwise I gotta kidnap my sister.

I'm hoping to go to NY camping first wee in May but I'm not sure i can get someone to watch my critters. This is always a pain.

Rockinonahigh · 04-04-2010, 11:34 AM

I would love to be going on a hikeing / camping or fishing trip..but its hard to go with a screwy back and nobody else wants to go unlless its a camp ground that had cabins..sissys.

JakeTulane · 04-04-2010, 11:39 AM

Yesterday was a fruitful day... I caught two rainbow trout.. both about 6lbs or so.. !! I was surprised that I landed them because there are so many people out there fishing. For Me, it is more the peaceful meditative feeling that I like when fishing.. than the catch itself. Most times I catch and release.. however, normally My first catch of the season I will keep.

Today is another gorgeous day.. and before I go to Easter dinner at My Mom's.. I am going to get all of My camping gear around.. get it sorted.. and see if there is anything I need to replace or just add to.. and then when the time comes.. I will be ready to just head out into the woods..

I hope everyone is enjoying the day.

6 lb Rainbow Trout???? thats a very nice catch indeed!

SF_Boi · 04-06-2010, 01:36 PM

Hey count me in!! I love being out in nature. I really love riding my mountain bike, fishing, hiking with my dogs, camping, deep sea fishing trips,surfing, boogie boarding, and hiking.

Thanks for the tread.

Fancy · 05-13-2010, 08:16 PM

This weekend is the local Lilac Festival, and the weather looks to be awesome. I'll be loading up a bike and a camera to head off to the park! It's a hilly park and will make for fun riding.

kannon · 07-06-2011, 09:51 PM

I love all outdoor activities.

Sports.

Camping.

Kayaking

mountain biking

surfing

skiing

I want to go on a mountain biking trek to Franklin mountains during the school break. I know it's going to be hot as hell. Maybe some early morning biking then kicking it in El Paso during the day.

Anyone from El Paso or close by want to get into some outdoor fun?
