Weminuche Wilderness / Highland Mary Area / September 9-10
Просмотров 963 месяца назад
This is another beautiful hike in the Weminuche Wilderness. The Highland Mary Lakes area is well worth the effort to explore. I hiked a route that took me around the Highland Mary Lake , but to the lake. I spent a nice quiet night at Lost Lake and ended my walk early to avoid bad weather forecasted. This was a difficult hike for me, mostly because of the high elevation. Most of this trip was at...

3 day backpacking adventure in the Uncompahgre Wilderness. Starting at the Eastfork trailhead, the beautiful scenery was everywhere. Day two , consisted of two high mountain passes before my first attempt to summit wetterhorn peak. I failed my first attempt and after a good nights rest, I finally made it to the top. This would make for a long day in the end. Although the rest of the third day w...

Pack Goats / A Day Of Hiking In The Woods
Просмотров 798 месяцев назад
Today Joanna and I went into a wooded area near our home to scout out a place that we could hike out to (with our goats) and camp. Our goats still have a thing or two to learn, and we also need to figure out a few things before we venture very far from home. The more we expose them to new environments, the more they settle down and trust us. Soon we’ll be able to take them on trail for multiple...

    The dog thing happens to me all the time too. I enjoy dogs, but not their muddy paws jumping on me. And I'm reluctant to push someone's dog away because the emotionally needy people that are treating animals better than they treat people might not like it. I don't want to escalate the situation with these emotionally pitiful pet owners. Dogs are animals not family members. FML

      I like dogs too . But this one’s intent was very clear the moment it laid its eyes on me. It was charging in a straight line towards me and growling the whole way. I knew it was going to lead to a bite. I was stepping backwards and offering my hand, but it leaped for my face. If the situation had continued for even a few second more I’m afraid the situation would have turned into a very bad situation, but the owner managed to step between me and the dog. The dog then retreated back to the area it had come from.

Hope you have clear weather! It’s a beautiful hike. It’s a hike I would enjoy doing again. Have fun! Stay safe! By the way ….

      A married couple from Fort Recovery kayaked to the gulf several years ago. I have no idea how long it took them or how much it cost them, but it does sound like an awesome adventure. Of course I always forget to consider the days of paddling into the wind, or waiting out lightning storms under a tarp on the bank of the river🤣. Nice to hear from you ! Thanks for commenting!!

      Dad used to take the Freshman Bio Class from Wabash, Ohio to Linn Grove. I went several times and once there was a Thunderstorm. A bolt landed about 20 feet from us. That was scary. Hope life is good. Keep that oar in the water

    it's a little surprising that these things don't ignite forest fires

      This trip we put in at a bridge south of Redkey on Highway 1. Our take out spot was south of the town of Albany on strong road. There is a short dam hazard on this section near the town of Fairview.
