Especially when you tell your future ex-wife to take a hike!

Nothing mystical about it. Its something that every rural kid learns almost as soon as they can walk.

I sometimes think there is something that drives us flyover people to become conservative.

I humped whole days on end in an infantry Scout Platoon with a psycho platoon sergeant. I felt as happy as a French Legionnaire.

How do two criminals who escaped from prison have to do with it? I’m pretty sure their exploits don’t count.

I try to walk at least 5 miles a day and more when I can. I definitely feel better and less stressed after a long walk.

The essential thing is to spend a lot of money on shoes, walking-sticks, and other stuff so you can fully experience the out-of-doors.

LOL. You invade a thread that had nothing to do with Trump, and then you accuse others of spamming. His liberalness is rubbing off on you.

You think most people who hike do that?

Amen. I hiked the two years I lived in Kyoto and they were probably the fondest of memories. Especially the multi-day hikes.

I’ve never felt that I’ve wasted time after going for a walk.

LOL. I hate hiking because the top is always just around the bend. Colorado hikes suck. I lost 20 pounds by just working my yard. I can see all the mountains and trails on google earth and be healthy in my own back yard.

“You think most people who hike do that?”

Nope. I don’t. But you see a LOT of money on the trails in Colorado. And that’s before they buy $5000 mountain bikes.

Did you sign The Happy Wanderer while you marched?

Try a walk to a spot in Colorado. It is always just around the bend.
I stay in our rental while my hubby does his grand Colorado trail.
Makes me happy.

I hike all over the hills above and around Palo Alto. I may forget my daily woes, but the animal kooks in California have given me a whole new rumination to stress out on...

That was a pretty funny and cheeky comment he made. Don’t forget the special “dri-fit” hiking clothes, too.

I do use a good heavy pair of Asolo mountain boots with wool socks which does help my aging dogs a lot.
