Double Bow said:I'm a chameleon hiker! I enjoy hiking with others and I go whatever their pace is. I hike fast with my fast friends and slow with my slow friends. The social aspect of hiking is one of my favorite things.
Since I'm not a botanist, when I see something, I see a "pretty white flower" not a "whodad-spotted long-pesteled dispensia" so I say "Yup, that's pretty" and keep moving. On the rare occasions when I solo, I like to push myself and see how fast I can go to give myself a challenge. It's fun to compare my time to "book time"!

Then I run fast to cover as much ground as possible and of course I gotta drive back fast.
blame it on the mud, my man. work the stairs. do sit ups. weigh your cra...gear.Paradox said:I have modified my hiking style significantly from my earlier post. Lately, I have been hiking, exclusively while sitting on my butt. I have a computer mouse in my right hand and a glass of single malt scotch on the rocks in the other. I pontificate endlessly to the equally bored about; how good a hiker I am, how prepared I am, the things I have seen, the pictures I've taken, how much water I carry, yadda, yadda, AND I WANT TO SCREAM AND YANK MY HAIR OUT!!!!
