Justin & Sydney: Geezer Adventures
США
Добавлен 28 фев 2021
Over 60 and living life to the fullest: If we can do this, then you can do this! Our goal is to encourage others to get out in nature--and move. If you've always wanted to backpack, do it! We love talking about our adventures and encourage you to make your own. If you are unable for whatever reason, we hope you can enjoy coming along with us on our journeys posted on this page.
While we both have more-than-full-time jobs, we have always made time for travel. Over the years we learned that paved walkways and crowds were not for us. So, we have shifted to multiple-day backpacking trips and get out as often as we can. This channel will be primarily about hiking, backpacking, biking, outdoor activities, traveling, and being Mom and Dad to 4 and Mimi and Pops to 6.

Backpacking Eagle Rock Loop: 3 days / 2 nights in the Ouachita Mountains of Arkansas, w/ 10 yr old.
This was our third time backpacking the 26-32 mile Eagle Rock Loop in two and one-half days (in the Ouachita Mountains National Forest of Arkansas). But it was our 10-year-old grandson’s first time to backpack more than one day, so it was a true adventure for us all! We drove from Texas and hit the trail around 3:30 p.m. There had been a lot of rain in the weeks before our hike, so we checked the USGS Langley, Arkansas, river level and discharge rate on an hourly basis before starting out. Justin and I had carried around 22 pounds (before water), and our grandson carried his snacks, water, pad and sleeping bag for about 12 pounds.

I had my first broken bone ever (ankle) at the top of Guadalupe Peak in 2015. Since then, we have tried to hike the peak for our anniversary each year in June. Some years we just couldn’t make it, but this time we did! As the highest elevation in the State of Texas, with an 8-mile rugged trail up and back, you get some great exercise, see beautiful country, and experience a true adventure. The ...

We planned this hike a full year in advance to secure Hut space. Who would have thought we would be hiking in record breaking rainfall in the White Mountains National Forest, New Hampshire in the last week of August/first week of September. In all, we spent nine days hiking, and six days going Hut to Hut. This video (Part 1: Hut to Hut) includes the Galehead River Trail, Galehead Mountain, Gale...

This video includes Rainbow Point, Bryce Point, and the Queens Garden Trail. We planned our trip to avoid the hottest time periods, and spring and summer school breaks … and it turned out perfectly.

We finally made it to Zion National Park and Angels Landing after 24-hours of travel delay, but our luggage, including all our hiking clothes, shoes, and gear did not make it. And, of course, we got notice we won the Lottery for Angels Landing immediately after we learned our luggage would be delayed until after our start time. We bought what we needed and had an amazing day on one of my favori...

What trail did you enter
We started at the falls parking lot. Thats our favorite way to do it!
Great hike! I just posted my winter hike in that area to Avalon, looks so different without snow on the ground 😅! Just subbed and looking forward to more videos! 👍
Thank you!
Great trip. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching!
Great Video ya’ll!! And in the rain right off the bat! 😂❤ i loved this loop! So Awesome you got to take your grandson. Making memories for sure. Ya’ll made this look so easy😂
Thank you! He is already wanting to go back and do the entire thing. We do find it’s easier and more enjoyable the second time when you have a feel for what you’re going to see.
Great hiking! I love hiking this loop!❤️
Definitely one of our favs and grandson would love to do it again and complete now that he has a better feel for what it is.
Awesome video!! This is one of our favorite loop trails! Loved your grandson’s enthusiasm!!! Way to go Sydney!! You’re a beast!!!
Thanks so much!!
Hope you enjoyed the video! Let us know if you have any questions. We love to talk about our adventures!
Why does the guide have no pack?
He carried a huge pack with huge pans and tons of food. Shots of him without means he went ahead and sat it down and came back to check on those falling behind.
More great backpacking on the nearby 223 mile Ouachita Trail. Do it in sections out and back or use a shuttle service. Trailside shelters are nice too.
Working on our latest adventure doing the loop with our 10 year old grandson. It was amazing!
Absolutely gorgeous trip guys, shots and storytelling are flawless! Absolutely flawless!
Thank you for watching!
Y’all had a great hike and views! You’re right about the toenails. I went up a half size when I switched to Topos this year to correct the issue.
How are those working for you? I have not tried them but will at some point. Altra used to have the market cornered on the wide toe box but I sense a narrowing with time.
@@GeezerAdventures They feel more comfortable than my Lone Peaks and are known to be a bit more durable as well. Time will tell.
Stunning 😍
Thank you for watching!
You guys had some great still shots in this one! I aure would have been a bit nervous being at the top with no cover with some thunder rumbling. At least it was a little ways off. Made for some cool video with the rain walls out in the desert. Loved it.
What a cool tradition for your anniversary, and that shot at 14:20 🔥🔥🔥. Thanks for sharing! It’s a good reminder for me to do the peak again, it’s been too many years 🙂.
Absolutely beautiful footage!! God is good!! Happy Anniversary!!
Thank you for watching! We are about to have another - I am woefully slow getting videos out.
Thanks for watching! If you have any questions about out backpacking adventures, please let us know in the comments. We love talking about our adventures!!
Thank you for this! I’m petrified of letting my friend down on this hike. I’m 67 and slow.
You can do it. Stairs and walking with weight will get you ready! Revel in the sweetness of nature.
Thanks for sharing your adventures. I've been all over GNP, but somehow have missed Lake Francis as yet, so it's nice to see what that's like!
Thank you for watching. The Lake Francis campground and falls is one of the best for sure!
What breathtaking hikes in the White Mountains! Tuckerman Ravine, Crystal Cascades, and Hermit Lake offer such diverse beauty. 🏔🌲 #NatureLover 6:39 New Friend Here!
Thanks for watching!
Great video guys love the waterfalls
Thanks for watching!
DON'T GO UP TO THE MOUNTAIN TOP WITHOUT ME (C)2OO6
Get out there when you can!
Beautiful area with plenty of water! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for watching! Looking forward to more of your adventures!
Sorry about that. We have a lot of pain but keep strength training going and keep getting out there. Golf is outdoors and certainly peaceful! Although we are no good at it. 😂
It truly is beautiful there. Thanks for sharing such a gorgeous trail.
Thank you for watching! What are you up to outdoors these days?
Sadly Rocky I'm just getting over the damage I did to my knee from November when we were at the Davis Mountains. Hiking has been my passion since a young age but my knees don't want to anymore. Lol So a little golf is about all that's going on now. So, I'll get by watching y'all 🤓
This was a fun hike! Hope you enjoy it. Let us know if you have any questions. If we can do this - you can do this!!
Friday, February 16th: Thank-you for sharing. Very nice video. Great views. Happy Trails! Ross08
Thank you for watching!
What a view from the top! Beautiful area. Great final picture as well.
Thank you for watching! I have so much material I may never finish New Hampshire…
You KNOW I love New Hampshire and waterfalls. Thank you for showing me some “beyond my range”!
Truly this hike can be done by most. Only 1.3 miles and you can take your time. It’s delightful!
“Here comes the Judge!” Classic😂
Thanks for watching!
I really enjoyed watching y’all’s adventures in the Whites. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching! Enjoyed the chat with you and Eli last week as well! What a great deal with the assist on your upcoming Arkansas trail!
What a great journey! I don’t believe I’ve ever seen a video of the Whites that there wasn’t a showing of absolute beauty.
Hoped you enjoyed this video! If you did, please give us the thumbs up and subscribe!!
Great job you two!!!!! So typical to look like that at the top of that mountain range, foggy, windy, drisal, high winds, yup probably 70% of the time when I was doing the 48 peaks. Again well done ,excellent job, be safe and take care!!!!😊😊😊😊
Thank you for watching!
That was fantastic. The scenery and waterfalls are outstanding and even being socked in by clouds lends its own type of beauty. A trip I'm sure y'all won't soon forget.
Thanks for watching. We will not! Hope to see it without rain at some point!!
Just what I needed today!! What a great adventure!!! Great video!!
Thank you for watching! Hope to do it some day without rain!
Happy new year to the both of you! I finally got around to watching all the videos of y’all’s OML adventure. I’ll be heading to BBNP with Cameron to tackle the OML next week. Looks like a beautiful area and you had pretty nice weather. We’re hitting it on a cold snap. I believe it’ll be a low of 21° on our second morning. Thanks for the trip videos and best wishes on y’all’s 2024 adventures! Keep on moving!✌️
Wow! Hope it warms up. We have not been in January so interested to see how it goes. We have done late February and it was nice. The lack of crowds should be great. Looking forward to your videos!
Very nice to see fall colors besides brown.
Thank you!
Thank you for taking the time to share your adventure. Hard to stay positive in the rain
Thanks for watching!
Nice video 👌😊
Thank you for watching! We enjoy being out there and sharing.
Beautiful hike thanks for sharing. Happy trails 💪
Thank you!
Excellent video, loved the encounter with the deer. & such a nice tribute to the Tx HIKEaholics! It was fantastic meeting you two & sharing the trail, look forward to the next one!
It was a great group! Thank you for watching and your kind words.
Looked like a great time, with great people, great views, can't ask for more than that. Nice job you two !!!!!😊😊😊😊
Thank you for watching!
Nobody friendlier than us Texans backpackers :) Happy Holidays and thanks for the awesome video
Hey. Thanks. But Where were you? We missed you.
Never saw the email Cameron sends out. I should have remembered and check :). Gonna catch it next year !
I really enjoyed this! Absolutely Amazing! It was so great to meet up with ya’ll again, i can’t wait to do this again. That morning vista view. Wow.. Priceless . That early morning crew ❤ Happy Holidays❤
Thank you very much! We enjoyed visiting with everyone, and it was a great spot.
The morning of natures wonders was my favorite. Never seen clouds roll down a creek and take over like that before.
Loved yalls video! Your shots of the morning from the overlook were so good! And I loved your shoutout to the TX Hikeaholics. They're good people. And yall are too. Glad we've all been able to do these meetups. Its a really good group we've got going. I can't wait to do it again next year. I hope we can add more Texas RUclipsrs to our group next year.
Thank you very much!
Enjoyed the video, especially that morning montage at the end. It was beautiful and brought back good memories of that day! I am jealous of your deer footage, although if I was there I probably would’ve scared them off and ruined your footage haha 😂 The shout out to the TX HIKEaholics was a great personal touch, they really are great to hang with and hike with.
Hope to get that opportunity! They were looking and me responding to minor moves. Not scared of me just watching. It’s was delightful until Justin starting thinking the horn. 😍
@@GeezerAdventures 😂😂😂
Thank you! Waiting with great anticipation for your video!!
Wow! That was great!! I was watching along attentively and bam Sydney shocked me!!! Thanks so much for the dedication!!! We are so honored with the mention! Y’all are awesome!! We had a great time and can’t wait for the next opportunity to hike with everyone!! Thanks everyone for the shout outs!!
Looking forward to the next one. And thanks for the kind words!
Whatever Justin and I were discussing had to be highly skilled and intelligent. Hahaha Loved your perspective of the meetup and I look forward to seeing y'all again. ✌
Thanks for letting us tag along! We had a great time and can’t wait for next year.
I love it. Absolutely wonderful! Happy holidays from our family to yours!🙌
Right back at ya!
We hope you enjoy this video! Great time with fellow backpackers and youtubers. Let us know if you have any questions as we love to talk about our adventures. Also, if you are interested in joining us next year, let us know.
