GROWING old not GETTING old
Добавлен 29 апр 2024
I believe in Growing old, not Getting old. What's the difference?
Getting old is the natural process of life. Being alive one more day, one more year.
Growing old means that we continue to learn new things, experience new things, learn more about something we already do, learn more about ourselves, go to new places, see things in a new way, and remain open to all possibilities.
On this channel, I will share my adventures, share what I'm learning and doing, and share interviews with friends who offer thoughts about what Growing old means to them.
Please grow with me.

Today we left Three Mile Camp. We'll spend the night at Rock Harbor and catch the ferry for the mainland in the morning. This day included good hiking, great views, time for reflecting, and laughing with friends.

Isle Royale - Day 3

Trail maintenance. "Man trails", through the woods on Isle Royale, are meant to be 12" wide. It can sometimes be challenging to follow the trail over the rocky landscape. At one point I had to wander a bit to find the way over the rocks and back towards camp. I missed my Gaia app. Being in a place like this maked me more aware of the importance of paying attention to my surroundings.
Isle Royale Day Two

Dissolved Oxygen Saturation? Fish Kill? What?
Lovely doggie! Good call about staying off the roads for that busy couple of days 👍
Hi Karen, glad to see you out enjoying life. I’m retired, mow yards part time in summer, then as it cools off, I explore. Wished I knew more about edible plants, I know just enough to poison myself!!! 😂 enjoy life!!!
I think that suit is going to be a life saver and the carabiner could be too!
Go for it!
Sounds wonderful! I need to get planning an adventure 👍
Where would you like to go?
Good job! Have a great trip; I can hardly wait to hear your stories!
Thank you.
That carabiner is awesome! I’d call it a NEED!
Keep growing, but make sure and read all sides of an issue before becoming dogmatic. Just because something feels virtuous does not mean that it is true. How many times have people made things worse thinking they were making it better (Forest service not allowing forest fires to burn, when I was growing up, lead to much bigger and more destructive fires, as an example)
Thanks for your comment. I totally agree with you. I think it's important to do research, ask questions, and don't just leap on to the idea that promises quick and easy results. It took 50 years for this River to get to the impaired state that it's in and we won't see improvement over night, maybe not even in my lifetime, but somethings got to be done and someone's got to do it.

I leave that to the experts like Scott. I always wondered what he did at the DNR, now I know, lol. I coached cheer with his wife for several years. Anyway, this town is lucky to have you, Karyn. ❤️
We are lucky to have Scott working in our county. Scott and the others that he works with, dropped what they were doing to come and see what was happening on our lake.
You can do this💪🏼 Nerves are just your wisdom reminding you there will be hard part👍🏼
Thank you. There will be hard parts, but I can do it.
@@GrowingOldwithKaryn I know you can do hard things💪🏼🥾🤞🏽
Beautiful
Yes she is
This is your destiny, enjoy it!
Thank you
this is inspiring , thank you :)
Bike packing is where you’d ride where hikers hike, and where you wouldn’t go in a car, bike touring is riding on pavement, roads, paths, and gravel roads, that aren’t really harsh. Some of that is probably incorrect but that’s the best I can explain
Thank you. My recumbent trike is not set up for riding on hiking trails, so it is bike touring that I will be doing.
@@GrowingOldwithKaryn welcome
75 miles of backpacking before you turn 76 might make a good video series
You got me thinking. I have a backpacking trip planned that starts on my 76th birthday. The plan is to hike 67 miles. Maybe I need to add a day and do 76 miles. What do you think?
Get it! Proud of you ❤
Thanks
Yeah, do it Karyn
Yes, I'm going to do it.
Life is short do what you enjoy
I'm going to make it happen.
I say yes, you got this!
I'm doing it. Stay tuned for more info soon
❤😊
Sex is a good niche
70yo, limited-mobility handicapper here. Wheelchair/dual forearm crutches user here. 30-years of recumbent experience here. Owned 2, 3, and 4-wheel recumbents! Not able to get on/off my tadpoles for 15 years now. My Hase Lepus' (3 each) are my mobility. Under seat, indirect steering leaves upper arms vertical at rider's side and the indirect pivots isolate road vibration HUGELY from rider's hands and arms! E-assist here too, AND Rohloff gearbox! Once a Rohloff gearbox, never again any cassette! 2WD for running dog off road and towing kids on snow. Tadpoles ARE way better sports cars than Deltas. Delta trikes are way better SUV, pickup truck, minivan, jeep! 95++% of trike riders do not need tadpole speed handling unless living in a hilly area. NEVER see recumbent trikes being ridden hard in SW Ohio. Largest bike path mileage in all of America here! My firsthand experience.
Wow! Thank you for commenting. I am impressed and inspired. It sounds like your health challenges haven't slowed you down any. Tell me more about the Rohloff hub. I've been thinking that will be my next upgrade.
@@GrowingOldwithKaryn Rohloff hub is mounted below and aft of seat totally out of the way. You can rapidly shift all 14 gears while sitting still! Rohloff hub is INTERNALLY indexed making typical twin cables non adjustment critical! There is no low hanging chain like cassette shifting. There are cheaper gearboxes, but Rohloff IS the global touring choice of world travelers. On recumbent trikes, chain not belts are required, because of length. Some people make use of small levers on both handgrips. One side for up shifting. Other side for down shifting. Internal indexing (not shift cables) of Rohloff gears is beautiful! Recumbents trikes ARE expensive! Buy one ONCE and never outgrow it!!! Easy oil change too. They have close-up pictures on Hase sites. Slowest and stationary shifting not possible on cassette if I am out watching wildlife, etc. You can always start off in any gears, if 4-5 lowest gears are great for hill climbing! Shimano e-assist here. Carry full size and finger-size monocular on my neck for scenery, wildlife and up-close butterfly watching. Sow milkweed seed to help monarch butterfly! too handicapped to plant milkweed plants now. I have been telling world that tadpole trikes are ONLY sports cars for years under the name "Jason Stillwater."
I'm going to call my bike shop today and then start saving for the Rohloff. Thank you for all the information and for helping the Monarch butterflies.
That looks like an awesome trike! I'd like to try one. I hope you have fun on your adventuresome bike tour!
It is fun to ride. I hope you can find one to try.
🎉
I’m 70 and walk my dog every morning. I am most energetic in the Fall&Winter. Spring & Summer heat & humidity slows me down. This morning I woke up with a “change of weather “ headache- the barometric pressure affects me sometimes. Fortunately I don’t feel bad enough to not hike and go about my day.
Thanks for sharing. I agree about the effects of heat and humidity. During those times of the year, I try to get all physical activities done in the morning.
Hi Karen, no, I don't notice a change in weather because of aches and pains. I do have osteoarthritis so there are aches and pains! We're expecting rain later today - I know that because I looked at the weather app on my phone. But I'm not more achey today than usual. In fact, I'm less achey because the Collagen I've been taking is finally starting to work!
Thanks for sharing. It's good to hear that taking collagen is helping you with your osteoarthritis challenges.
It would be awesome if you would do a video on what you actually got at Ruby's. Thanks Karen!
I will do that the next time I go to Ruby's Pantry. It is once a month and I'm going to be out of town on the June pickup day. Watch for the Ruby's Pantry video in July.
Girlfriend...no edits needed!! Stay real! You're adorable. Spend your time learning something else. "This" friend enjoys ALL of the adventures you share. What makes me smile about growing old? Retirement savings withdrawals without penalty, baby! Woohoo! lol. You know my current situation. All of the adventures i want to enjoy are on hold for an undetermined amount of time. I often think...will i be too old and not in shape anymore by the time i can finally start checking off bucket list adventures? Like...hiking the caminos in Spain and France, checking out every far reaching corner of NV's state parks, watching icebergs float past the shores of New Foundland, or digging for diamonds in AR's Crater of Diamonds State Park. Then I think of you. You inspire me every day, my friend. Love you to pieces! Keep on sharing "real" stuff!.💞
Everyone should have a friend like you
It’s Just this , bliss yeah x Enjoy your day
You are so right. Total bliss. Enjoy your day
Either is splendid! I’ve recently moved from the mountains of NC to the farmlands of middle Michigan. New critters. New weather. Just lovely. ☺️ Your view is first rate 🙏❤️
That's quite a move. I love your perspective on it. Enjoy your new surroundings.
Contact Create Wisconsin. I can’t remember the woman’s name that I talked to when I started teaching art classes but she scheduled a phone call with me and talked to me in person.
Thank you. I will contact her.
What does anybody appreciate her go and give her some likes
Thank you.
Yes please let us know how that works out for ya!
It was great fun. I can't wait to go again.
You ride them horses, queen! 👑👑❤
We call them blue berries because theyre blue when theyre berries. At least thats my crazy take
That makes sense
Blueberries are blue berries and berries blue blue barrows with blue berries
No lady
I agree it is what it is, was always gonna be be just this
Well said.
If u have an iPhone, it’s possible Siri misunderstood something else u said and made a note for you to try to be helpful. It might be nothing you meant to type at all! Mine has done that before. Btw just found u. Subscribed immediately. I adore you already. And I’m growing old too! Haha.
I still haven't figured it out. I'm not going to delete the note because I think someday it will come to me. Thanks for subscribing.
enjoy your adventure
Thank you. Have you been to Horicon Marsh or Ledge County Park?
Good luck with your venture. I’m 71, in Norfolk, England.
Thank you.
To me aging gracefully means accepting the fact that I am getting older and that has some limitations that need to be navigated. For example I don’t recover from injury as fast as I use to. I accept that but I don’t allow it to control my life. I still hike - but I need to stretch a little more etc.
Perfect explanation. Thank you for sharing.
I’m a morning person…. In fact, it’s my favorite time of day. I like your idea to post morning ramblings. Interesting topic today.
Yes, mornings are awesome. Thank you
👏👏 bravo finding a way to continue bike riding and not giving up. It looks very comfortable!
Thank you. Yes, it is very comfortable.
Since 1996 when I discovered road Recumbents...I never stop using bents till 2024+ Various bents' pass. Settled for now with one ElliptiG0 a standup road elliptical bike. I used to have Catrike 700c then swap to ElliptiGO.
I looked at 2 wheeled recumbents but because of my age and concern that balance might become an issue at some point, I went with the trike. I've seen EliptiGo's on the road. Very cool. They look like they would be fun to ride.
@@GrowingOldwithKaryn I appreciate your reply back. At 65+ had no balanced issues but needs to fabricate a caster wheels on elliptiGO so that I wouldn't go down on a red light. Had a Tour Easy and Rans Rocket plus USX delta trike (seen on my blogs)
Loves the attention and visibility of elliptiGO. I wish they could manufacture a delta G0.
Cool necklace
Thanks
Two people recently died eating morel
I don't trust my mushroom identification skills do I would never wild harvest and eat any.
Finding joy is important, especially the satisfying joy of having Meade the world a little brighter in some way. I recently found joy “savoring” the wildflowers with you. A simple pleasure and a hymn of praise🙂
Flowers, especially spring time flowers, always lift my spirit.
