Anybody get out today? Took the boy to turkey run and got a few miles in, plenty of ice still in the creeks and muddy but pretty nice out.

Got some walking in at Costco…. Dodging zombies with shopping carts and cells phones the whole way.

Sounds more dangerous than trying to climb up out of icy ravines and hoping the frozen icicles don’t fall on our heads! Yeah, I’ll definitely take the woods over Costco! You are a brave man!

Have to head in to work in a bit, so just neighborhood walking. Turkey Run is one of our favorites when it's in ice sculpture mode, though.

Wife and I just got back from McCormicks Creek. Did 6+ miles of hiking, and spent 20 minutes sitting by the fake fire at the Canyon Inn. Most of the snow and ice was gone down there. Trails weren't as mushy as I thought they might be, at least not #s 5 - 9. Beautiful day to be outside.

Turkey Run also has the greatest statuary of any Indiana State Park, IMO !

Although McCormick's Creek is just 15 minutes east of my getaway cabin, and I have many old ties to that park !

Where is that located? I haven’t seen that before.

If I remember correctly, it's in a grassy area just to the left of the Inn.

Let's look at Turkey Run in more temperate times.
I can't wear the photo pack anymore (lumbar surgery), but I still get around .... just more slowly these days.

Short hike to the Rock Shelter on the Low Gap in Morgan Monroe on Saturday.

 

[ditcherman]

Hiked with the dog around in the little 5 acre woods by my range, trying to find a vision for a run and gun, or walk, tangle, and stumble, course.

It was a pretty nice day for Feb 5th.

I guess I’ll have to pay more attention, I don’t generally venture over that direction but I guess it wouldn’t hurt to check out the inn…

If you need some inspiration this morning. This is an article about "Medicare Pastor" a triple crowner that did not start long distance hiking until she turned 60. At 82 she is trying to finish the 4800-mile American Discovery Trail.

My son and I went to Yosemite for his 16th birthday. It had been a record snow year and you couldn't get a back country permit issued, so we stayed in the valley and hiked up to a different location every morning and then back down every evening. We were up at Nevada falls one day, eating lunch and my butt was dragging. 4 nuns in full habit, all easily over the age of 60, strolled by on the trail coming from Little Yosemite Valley. They were eating fresh fruit and chatting up a storm. My son looked at me with a crap eating grin on his face. My only response was to tell him to not say a word, I'm not complaining about dragging *** for the rest of the trip.

I can’t even find the vents? I was going to pick up the Moab’s pretty soon because I couldn’t find vents.

Well,because of your post I checked again. They have a few in 9.5W or 8w($59 on clearance) but it appears the Moab 2 vent is no more. I see no replacement either(non-waterproof) in the Moab 3 lineup.
