Baume66, I actually get depressed in February because I can't take all that darkness. I pretty much love all of the seasons, but I like to hike best in the fall and winter. I've never done much in the way of winter sports before so maybe getting out more will help me get past the lost sunlight issue.” 5:11:44 PM 9/28/02 “I do like the fall, winter season and it's my favorite for hiking. I just wish the daylight was longer for doing outdoor activities. July and August are my least favorite seasons for hiking and I rarely hike in those months.” 6:05:53 PM 9/28/02 “when do we go back to standard time?” 3:10:48 AM 9/29/02 “I think we turn the clocks back on Oct. 31.” 7:38:37 AM 9/29/02 “This year we turn the clocks back on Sunday October 27.” 8:23:35 AM 9/29/02 “An extra hour of sleep for everybody except LyndyS. She'll be up at 3:30 singing "Get up my pretties!"” 8:43:50 AM 9/29/02 ok! ok i'm up! “man, whatta nightmare....the hogs couldn't do anything right.........oh $h!t.....” 8:48:44 AM 9/29/02 “thanks richb. i was too lazy to look at a calendar. i think i'll turn the clocks back this weekend. just for something to do.” 3:24:31 AM 9/30/02 YAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWN “I feel like we turned the clocks back last night.” 3:33:00 AM 9/30/02 “Turn back your clocks! Get up my pretties! And Geobeet, I get you ... and your little squirrel too!” 6:20:50 AM 9/30/02 “yet up not am I. Yawn......I am mean I am not up yet! Hhehehehe!!!!! Monadys suck! 8o” 6:23:38 AM 9/30/02 “Mondays do suck. But at least it's only 10 more days until we HIKE MAINE!!!”6:31:02 AM 9/30/02 “Sing it, Artex! BTW, where is your Catskills trip report? Is it a ghostly figment that I can't spot? I hiked with MSilver and two friends up in the Catskills on Sunday, and now all my muscles and a few bones too, are crying for mercy! That place is way cool!” 6:37:17 AM 9/30/02 “I wish I was going on that trip it sounds like fun! 8)” 6:38:13 AM 9/30/02 “Lyndy - It's there, kind of. I didn't do a full trip report last night, I was too tired. Like you, my bones and muscles ache! The route I did was a real buttkicker. Search below for Pseudosolo Catskills Trip Report.. CM - Call in sick for a few days and head out to Maine and join us! :-)” 6:43:32 AM 9/30/02 “I'm up sore knee and all. My knee is sore from doing sprints on my bike Sat. Need some rest to heal it up.” 6:43:57 AM 9/30/02 “Heehee, yeah I'm going to rest by cleaning the house! Hope your knee feels better RichB, you must have worked it hard, because you aren't usually sore.” 7:20:57 AM 9/30/02 “It should be OK in a few days, I hope. There's a sharp pain on the inner left knee when I walk on it. It's my own fault for pushing big gears that hard with not enough warm up. A little overtraining is the cause too and I should have stayed off the bike that day. Yeah, those climbs in the Cats will do a job on the legs. You had nice clear skies for views.” 7:30:52 AM 9/30/02 “I'm psyched though. We had some good elevation gain and I was breathing better than usual, so the running is paying off. But my legs were like jello after a while of climbing up those slate cliffs. I can't imagine doing that with a full overnight pack. I could barely fit through some spaces with the Shasta cinched down tight and carrying just food, water, first aid and bad weather clothes. Even then the pack got caught occasionally. But it felt great! I really am happy with the pack.” 7:38:11 AM 9/30/02 “I just checked out the pictures that Msilver posted from your hike. It did look steep, but that probably wasn't the narrow part of the trail. That's great that you like the pack. I would think that it would be challenging hiking up any of those climbs in the Cats with a full pack. Your training hikes are paying off.” 7:10:42 PM 9/30/02 “We caught Lyndy S driving @ 75 mph on the NY State Thruway Sunday morning. Lyndy also knows a lot about Italian pasta meals. If anyone is ever near Kingston NY (exit 19 off the Thruway), ask the ticket takers at the exit toll both how to get to Carmine's in Kingston for outstanding Italian food at a great price.” 7:18:51 PM 9/30/02 “What? Doesn't everyone drive @75 on the thru-way? I couldn't drive that fast in the dark on the way back, though. Can't see well enough, so I drove 65. :)” 7:21:53 PM 9/30/02 “That new Subaru of Lyndy's goes real fast. And she drives with such intense concentration! My my! If you pull in front of her and get your dog to smile at her out the back window, Lyndy might slow down that new Outback Wagon.” 7:23:52 PM 9/30/02 “She was just testing out the new car.” 7:24:20 PM 9/30/02 “Well, you know it could be worse, I could be waving at all the guys that drive by, thinking that maybe they are a friend of MSilver!” 7:26:59 PM 9/30/02 “Oh, and I was early this time, admit it MSilver. See the Pseudo Catskill thread, there is some discussion of Catskill hiking this past weekend.” 7:30:29 PM 9/30/02 “Lyndy, My friend Paul Hogan could pull up next to you with his LL Bean Outback, blowin' the horn and waving his hat and knife, and you wouldn't notice anything but the road ahead. Pictures from 9-29-02 Kaaterskill High Peak hike at... http://community.webshots.com/album/51359698PgAkSE” 7:32:26 PM 9/30/02 “Yes I saw the pictures; I sent you an email about them. They came out great. Elaine looks like she was cracking the whip on us, leading us to ever higher climbs. She doesn't even look tired in the pictures. How did she manage that?” 7:37:32 PM 9/30/02 “Good morning! Time for coffee, morning stretches and taking kids early to school for choir. Can you believe they ran out of time in the afternoon so they are scheduling activities in the morning before school?” 5:46:58 AM 10/01/02 “Sounds like a long day just got longer. Are your legs still sore from the Catskill hike?” 6:28:04 AM 10/01/02 “One thigh where I had gotten a charley horse and my arms from pulling myself up are still sore. That was the toughest hike I've done yet. But I am hooked. The Catskills are much nicer than I had thought. MSilver and I talked about doing winter hikes there, sleeping in our respective Subarus rather than backpacking.” 6:42:31 AM 10/01/02 “That doesn't sound too bad. Maybe it'll be gone by tomorrow.” 6:51:12 AM 10/01/02 “i'm up and trying to get going, but i have a tummy ache” 7:34:36 AM 10/01/02 “Sorry about the tummy ache wingding0--try saltine crackers.” 7:48:24 AM 10/01/02 “Or mint tea. That works well for my kids.” 8:05:05 AM 10/01/02 “better yet, go back to bed.” 9:31:25 AM 10/01/02 MSilver “We are going to be staying overnight at a campground in Kingston Oct 18th. Then head on up to the Mountain in the am. But hay we might stop there for dinner.” 9:36:38 AM 10/01/02 “Lyndy, Hilleberg sent me their new 2002 catalog last week. It's double the size of the 2001. They asked if I would like to submit photos or comments about the Nallo to possibly be used on their website. So maybe you'll be getting one too. I like the 2001 Nallo better. 2002 has a lower roof and lighter fabric that's only 1.3 ounces per yard compared to 2.3 for the 2001. Now I need to get some pictures in some wild winter storm this year.” 1:42:39 PM 10/01/02 “Hey wouldn't that be the coolest! Oh but where are we going to get snowy weather from? It is like August here today. I know! In Maine! Do they want Pennsy, Artex and Fritz doing stupid human tricks next to the tent? Or maybe something a little more GQish? Heeheehee, maybe you have some good winter pics of the Nallo, Rich? I don't have any yet of mine.” 2:58:59 PM 10/01/02 “I don't have any winter pics yet, but maybe this winter. It's like August here too with 80 expected tomorrow. Your tent looked pretty cool in the tropical storm, but I don't have any pictures of that either.” 7:01:39 PM 10/01/02 “i have some of my akto in the snow. it isn't alot of snow, but it is snow.” 5:21:19 AM 10/02/02 “Good morning, rise and shine! Baume66, aren't you getting a Nallo too?” 5:31:35 AM 10/02/02 “They have a new Nallo this year with an extended vestibule. The Nallo GT. Looks pretty cool for those that need a big vestibule. I still wish they didn't cut down on the roof.” 6:27:51 AM 10/02/02 ZZZzzzzz “Good night!” 8:58:53 PM 10/02/02 “Good morning everyone! Have your coffee? I'm in a little better mood now than last night. I worked very hard all day, was on my feet the whole time and then I got on TT and whoosh! All kinds of wierdness. Are there sunspots or flares to blame it on?” 5:28:58 AM 10/03/02 “Hey Geobeet, WAKE UP!!!Where is RichB? Is your knee better? Have you been out biking? At least it is cool in the morning.” 6:24:40 AM 10/03/02 I live in the Catskills “Well, I haven't hiked in a while due to my wife's illness, but took a long one yesterday. Went from Alder Lk to Balsam Lake Mt & up the fire tower. Nice trail thru meadows & hardwoods. 3/4's thru you can see Balsam Lk Mt fire tower on the next ridge. Came out at dark, in the rain & fog and had to walk 8 mi back to my car along the road. I have blisters on top of blisters.” 6:37:04 AM 10/03/02 Jump to Page << prev
