That's 'cause I'm scared of heights.

These rules are out there. In researching an upcoming trip (not hiking or backpacking - but exploring and snorkling) to the Dry Tortugas, they are very adamant that nothing be hung from the trees. ...

You bring the Crystal Light Single Packets - I'll bring the 151.:eek:

Be my guest.

I prefer to think of it as "burning a beverage in a stove."

Not that I do this or anything - but your best alcohol to weight ratio is Bacardi 151.



And it's a good emergency back-up fuel. (or at least that's a justification I use :) )

Ladies and Gentlemen: you have your first oxymoron for the evening!

(j/k) no need to kill me.:D

Amen. And in bear country - the only choice.

As long as you feel comfortable that you removed all of the little bastards within about 6 hours- your probably fine.

Here are a few set-ups with the Kelty Tarp, and tent with no rainfly.

Config 3

One note though: Absolutely Contrary to what the directions say on the Kelty Noah's...

I'll keep an eye out for them.

Can't wait for the heat to subside!!!

Awsome trip - highly recomend it to all. Even had an extra day added when the good ship Wenonah couldn't cross the lake (8-10 ft seas.)

I checked out the report - looks like you had a great time...

I just got back from a trip to Isle Royale. They say that all water on the island should be considered contaminated with hydatid tapeworm (a result of the moose and wolf population on the island.) ...

BE CAREFULL on the water!! Have a great trip!!

Just don't use the ash from a fresh fire.

Glad you enjoyed Little Talbot - I think its my favorite day hike here in JAX (that I have found.) The other place you went is Ft. George and Kingsley Plantation (same area) - alot of history there,...

You may want to reconsider what is safer, I took this picture, while out on the Guana River (near Lake Ponte Vedra)!!!

Not far (100 yds) from this guy (and the other 4 gators I saw that day) was...

Well said!!!

Just one note,

for the love of god, please, please be careful how you sit at the shelters.

Is it just me or does this thing bear a remarkable resemblance to Mrs. O'donnell?


I know, I'm sorry, I'll go sit in the corner now.


:D

LASIK

And that whole evening halo thing is an old problem - It's not much of an issue anymore (with the new procedures.)

Anyone squeemish - they videotaped my LASIK, and I think I still have...

Some good dayhikes around here are:

Little Talbot Island has a nice loop trail, you can add more distance to it if you wish by going further north on the beach. (no camping though)

Ft. George...

I'm a convert. I used to be the tough guy calling those with poles sissies. Then on a whim- I took my ski poles (not the best for hiking) on a day hike and saw the light. They can also be...

I'll come up with something - I always do ;)

It's funny 'cause both my brothers and I had Daniel Boone hats like that when we were young. Lots of fun terrorizing the neighborhood in them!

Does she know you have a girlfriend??

:eek:
