There are some interesting trails we hike in the Shenandoah/Skyline area. The ones we like are not like walking around a golf course pulling a bag of clubs in a cart. Every ounce of weight you carry on your belt or in your pack matters sometimes. We usually do Old Rag Mountain twice a season, starting before dawn. Perhaps you should try it and report back here. Yup, you're right. Pushing a golf cart five or six miles on a relatively (compared to the Shenandoah Mountains) flat golf course would not be considered 'real' walking to you heavy hikers! (You're sounding almost like Luddite!) I can see why you'd want to carry a .357 revolver on the Old Rag Mountain hike: "The Old Rag Mountain hike in the Shenandoah National Park is one of the most popular hikes in the mid-Atlantic region. With many spectacular panoramic views, and one of the most challenging rock scrambles in the park, this circuit hike is a favorite of many hikers. But be prepared for the crowds. This is the only hike we give a star rating for solitude." Gotta be prepared to defend against all those people, eh? This wouldn't just be a way to show off to the families and kids, would it? We drove by it and couldn't find a parking space. That is not our kind of hike anyway. We like a 5-8 mile walk where we don't see anyone else. We had to get to this trail on a boat and we were alone. http://gfretwell.com/ftp/alaska/Glacier%20lake.jpg http://dnr.alaska.gov/parks/units/kbay/kbayl.htm I still didn't think I needed a gun Looked a lot like Mendenhall Glacier by Juneau. http://media-cdn.tripadvisor.com/med...ll-glacier.jpg === We took a helicopter ride from Juneau to a spot on the top of the Mendenhall, up in the valley above that lake. We were able to hike around on the glacier for an hour or so. It was an interesting experience and a great view. The irisidescent blue color that old ice develops in the crevices is really spectacular. |

It's my new S&W 686 in .357 MAG with a 4" barrel. Those are snapcaps in the chambers. I'll have to stick with the N frame, thank you. N frame .357s are nice, but too heavy. Now, for a larger caliber, maybe not. Too heavy for what? Concealed carry? Open carry out in the woods in a holster. About 10 ounces heavier than a 686, which is also fairly heavy. I would have gone for a 686 with a 3" barrel, but the one that came up I was offered has the 4" barrel. Still, it is lighter than the Ruger GP100 I had and sold. How many miles do you walk in the woods with a pistol in a holster? I can't imagine ten ounces making a difference unless you're putting in about 40 miles a day. My money is on ZERO... I bought small luggage carrier to put on our bicycles. When I mentioned same to my bicyclist brother, he commented that they added too much weight. I told him it weighed only a little over a pound. His reply, "That's a lot of weight when you're carrying it from here (Seattle) to Portland in a weekend." I suppose he was right. There are some interesting trails we hike in the Shenandoah/Skyline area. The ones we like are not like walking around a golf course pulling a bag of clubs in a cart. Every ounce of weight you carry on your belt or in your pack matters sometimes. We usually do Old Rag Mountain twice a season, starting before dawn. Perhaps you should try it and report back here. Yup, you're right. Pushing a golf cart five or six miles on a relatively (compared to the Shenandoah Mountains) flat golf course would not be considered 'real' walking to you heavy hikers! (You're sounding almost like Luddite!) I can see why you'd want to carry a .357 revolver on the Old Rag Mountain hike: "The Old Rag Mountain hike in the Shenandoah National Park is one of the most popular hikes in the mid-Atlantic region. With many spectacular panoramic views, and one of the most challenging rock scrambles in the park, this circuit hike is a favorite of many hikers. But be prepared for the crowds. This is the only hike we give a star rating for solitude." Gotta be prepared to defend against all those people, eh? This wouldn't just be a way to show off to the families and kids, would it? We do that one in the early spring and late fall, and only occasionally encounter other hikers, and rarely others with small kids. Probably not a hike for you, what with all your surgeries and disabilities. How's your back? Sore? Red? D'oh. Usually, it is my upper legs that get sore from those hikes, but I know that's not what you mean. If you'd shed a few pounds, walking would be easier for you. Hey, he only does it twice a year, starting before dawn for six hour eight mile hike. He should be OK, as long as he doesn't get run over by kids running their way up the trail. There's nothing quite like the lack of reading comprehension skills among you righties. Indeed, We usually do Old Rag Mountain twice a season, starting before dawn. Nowhere in that phrase is it stated or implied that is the only trail hiking we do. Also, as I stated, you should try it and report back here, or have your survivors do so. Harry, I believe that 20 years ago you and some buddies may have done Old Rag Mountain. I don't believe, having met you, that you could do it now unless you've really shaped up. As you don't discuss your gym experiences all that much, I doubt that you have. For the past several years you've let us know when you go on your stump shootin' trips with your buddies. Never once have you mentioned all this 'hiking' you now claim. I think you're on to another Krause lie. ;-) I don't know...now he's saying he really got into shape! Go do the Old Rag Mountain trail and take the Florida moron, aka FlaJim, with you. And take a bottle of oxygen for him. It is not I who has to hook up to a CPAP machine to get through the night. Did medical insurance foot the bill for your emergency generator? Bet it did. That's a pretty good question. -- Guns don't cause problems. Gun owner *behavior* causes problems. |

We drove by it and couldn't find a parking space. That is not our kind of hike anyway. We like a 5-8 mile walk where we don't see anyone else. We had to get to this trail on a boat and we were alone. http://gfretwell.com/ftp/alaska/Glacier%20lake.jpg http://dnr.alaska.gov/parks/units/kbay/kbayl.htm I still didn't think I needed a gun Looked a lot like Mendenhall Glacier by Juneau. http://media-cdn.tripadvisor.com/med...ll-glacier.jpg === We took a helicopter ride from Juneau to a spot on the top of the Mendenhall, up in the valley above that lake. We were able to hike around on the glacier for an hour or so. It was an interesting experience and a great view. The irisidescent blue color that old ice develops in the crevices is really spectacular. We didn't have time for the helicopter jaunt. The Disney ship had changed the departure port from Vancouver, Canada, to Seattle, WA. This made boarding and such much easier for us as I have a brother living there. But, the extra sailing time was subtracted from some of the stops. I won't ever do that cruise again, but if I did, I'd want to go out of Vancouver. === It was recommended to us that we do the reverse route where you fly into Fairbanks, work your way south on the bus and train tour, and then board the cruise ship in Whittier for the ride south to Vancouver. It worked out very well and the weather was great even though there was still snow on the ground in Fairbanks. |
