I’ve been telling Obama that for years!
If HE would take a hike, I would be a lot happier!
I’d guess that in the last 15 years some of the best times of my life have been accompanied by the sound of desert gravel crunching under my boots and the steady pace of my breathing.
Five miles a day! That’s great.
With my tendonitis in the ankles, i need to start back taking little walks. Eveywhere I look, i see folks in worse shape than me, out riding their bikes. I need to try that again too. Five miles a day would be my Dream Achievement.
“My doctor told me to start walking five miles a day. I calls him two weeks later and say ‘doc, I’m 70 miles from my house!’’—Rodney Dangerfield.
Mark Sanford would have been a lot better if he had only taken a hike...
Hey, no flyover.
But the hills in Hollywood are wonderful.. Some lazy paths, some heart busting inclines ... all of them super satisfying. When you need to get centered, or work off worries or concerns, a good walk is called for.
A good hike is good for a healthy mind.
I wouldn’t worry about it too much. It’s not very likely, however it could help to know the proper protocol.
I named my dog Five Miles a Day so I can say I walked five miles a day.
I’ve never had a hiking stick. But shoes are the most important part. You don’t necessarily have to spend a lot.
I moved to Eagle River, Alaska last September. This was my first summer here, and the hiking in Alaska is absolutely breathtaking. Alaska is truly a chunk of heaven here on earth.
Can’t disagree with that. Do you see Bald Eagles?
My first Vasque’s lasted over 20 years and must have had 10,000 miles on them. Indestructible.
Impressive.
I used to hike but I have size 12 1/2 feet. Now when ever I am in the woods the entire cast and crew of the TV show “Finding Bigfoot” show up and start trying to take photos of me. The big redneck guy says “Dude, I thought you’d be taller!”
Good boots are certainly worth what you spend on them. Norwegian welt are my favorites.
As long as you aren’t hiking at the North Pole or at Rankin/Bass National Park, you shouldn’t run into him.
Give me 15 miles of forest to walk through and you make me one happy dude.
I prefer a .357 in a shoulder holster for that environment.
Easier access with a pack on, and better for bear.
