bluegrassIU Posted May 25, 2022 Report Share Posted May 25, 2022 Just got back from a solo trip to Maine/Acadia. Did a lot of hiking and enjoyed a lot of solitude. Gonna share some pics. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reacher Posted May 25, 2022 Report Share Posted May 25, 2022 My wife are I heading out to CA in late June for a 10 day vacation. We'll see Yosemite, Kings Canyon and Sequoia and the Big Sur coastline. Plan is to get a lot of hiking in. Have been trying to walk 2 miles per day during the week and longer or stairs and hills on the weekends to prepare. Hope to do a few laps on the Swallow Cliff stairs this weekend. Of course all that exercise needs to be balanced with a good beer. Sequoia Brewing in Fresno is first on the agenda for lunch after we get off the plane. Alvarado in Monterey also on the list with a few others. I'll report back on that aspect in the Beer thread. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really pushed it, but I loved every second d of it. Day two was a little less taxing but still hiked several miles up and down some mountains. Acadia may be the most gorgeous place I have seen. It is one of those rare places that is actually better in person than even in pictures. It is breath taking and diverse. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reacher Posted May 25, 2022 Report Share Posted May 25, 2022 Hiking on flat ground is one thing. Going up and down hills takes it to another level. Doing so at elevation is another level. I figure 1 mile going uphill at 7000-10,000 feet is like 5 miles on flat ground. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was almost all straight up elevation on big ass rocks. Lol The view at the top was worth it. I sat there, ate a packed lunch and just relaxed for a good 1.5 hours. But yeah, you are right. Not all lengths are the same (that's what she said). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going with the fast raft instead of a big boat. Should be a blast. Did that 6-7 years ago in San Diego and loved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reacher Posted July 5, 2022 Report Share Posted July 5, 2022 (edited) Back from my vacation to CA. Got in a lot of outdoors time. Hiking was a bit limited due to my wifes broken wrist (she had surgery days before we left). Did some of the more popular hikes at Yosemite and Sequoia (Yosemite Falls, Morro Rock, etc), rented a bike for day and biked 5-6 hours in 90+ degree heat around the valley and in general did a lot of walking. Seemed like we were always driving or walking. Saw a few bear close up. Lots of other animals and strange birds and flowers. Gas wasn't as bad as I was expecting. Max I paid was $6.75.

mrflynn03 Posted July 31, 2022 Report Share Posted July 31, 2022 Going to get back out camping this fall. Got some upgrading I need to do with gear. Looking at a new Coleman tent with dark room technology. Supposed to block out 90% of light. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
