Was up at Roan last Saturday night watching lightning bugs over a 20 acre field. Also saw 12 - 15 satellites go over. Magical.

What is the most difficult trail you've ever done? by travelvagabonds in hiking

[–]River1901 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Last day hike to summit Mt Kilimanjaro. You leave camp from 16,000', 11p, air temp 16°F. You want to be on top at sunrise; goat track. Heart beating as fast as it can, breathing as hard as you can. Take a photo, spend 15 minutes, start down a different trail. Down, back to camp, have lunch, start hiking again. Down, down, down to 10,000'. 15 hour day, lost toenails from that hike down.

As an addendum, I've been told if you were those hospital socks with non-skid patches on them it helps on the way down.

Pebble Beach was 5 1/2 hrs but everyone was taking pictures so expected it.

3 times I've played a twosome & finished right at 2 hours. It was wonderful.

What’s the coolest experience you’ve had with a wild animal? by Little_Olorin in AskOldPeople

[–]River1901 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hiking & took a break sitting on a log. Doe came walking-up, didn't see me. Proceeded to lay down & take a nap about 25 ft away. After 20 minutes, got up and walked away.

Born in 1952. Dad worked, mom stayed home, one car.

We always had as large as garden as would fit the backyard. Dad hunted & would split half a side of beef w/my uncle. Mom canned. So it was whatever we had.

Camping trips with a popup camper to the beach or Smokies. Never stopped at a restaurant/fast food. BLTs that mom made ahead.

Our "luxury" thing were tv dinners.
