If you are up to it (might not be a story you want to share) but what in the world made you leave Montana????????????????????????????????????????? - LOL

I get that all the time about Colorado but it got too commercial - Montana seems perfecto to me

I love Montana. I was born there. My Dad's side of the family still lives there. He was in the military and that took us all over the map. I more or less grew up in Georgia though. Work took me out to Arizona and then to the east coast. I've been in NJ for the last 10 years. But I will retire out west. My cousins live in Missoula and have a house on Flathead lake. I love going to visit. As a semi type A workaholic it is good for me to hang with people who work to live vs live to work.

I would LOVE to get out there. I have gotten to the west side of the country way too little.

aspeelma - 2009-11-24 9:50 AM Who wants to come run a half marathon with Kim and I in NJ in April?

Come on, you know you want to!!!

If I could get up there I would do it in a heartbeat. My first HM is scheduled for April here. On trails in a state forest.

wgraves7582 - 2009-11-24 9:49 AM Alright enough about you guys - I have a relational question.

When I was hiking in Yosemite I spent about 4 hours with a lady from Cali (she left her friends and caught me so we hiked up and back down - I met her friends and told her about my wife and kids). Is there a problem with us communicating e-mail?

Look at who I am asking though - a group of women friends on the internet so I assume you see no problem with it?

Just curious what your thoughts are - and just so you know I am a male and she is pretty but I was awestruck by Yosemite so my mind was on nature, not doing natures duty

I have a problem with it, but only because I'm jealous.

Once I get past that, I don't see a problem, but I'm not your wife. I have guy friends that I email quite frequently, but they are both in relationships, and I know it will never go any farther than I want it to go, if you know what I mean.

As long as you are just being friendly, and not planning on running away with another women, enjoy the conversation. That's just my .02.

I agree, as long as it is just conversation AND the wife knows about it. I mean, its not like true confession but just a mention. My lovely DH converses with all sorts of female types about who knows what. and I do with other male types.

Not married and history of flaming relationship failures, so my opinion should be taken with a grain of salt, but I agree with Ann & Robin.

ceilidh - 2009-11-24 9:32 AM Okay all, I am in on any trip. I'm bringing DH, though. He is good for DD and hauling equipment. We live in his families home (200+ years) but both LOVE to travel.
Brining Mt bikes, kayaks and DH has to canoe.

Road and Mtn bikes for me. Love to borrow a kayak. I've always wanted to ocean kayak, but never tried.

My son and I did on the Mystic River and we want to buy one this year when Uncle Sam pays us back!

When I was at Lake Tahoe I saw a guy out and I wanted to swim out to meet him but the water was a little too cold w/o wetsuit!

I love love love to kayak. I am not too good at white water but fair. I have a "lake" kayak (not quite as pointy as an ocean kayak) but it can do the trick there too. It has pedals!! So I can paddle or pedal. The DH only likes to canoe- either white water or flat- NOT for me. white water canoeing is hard. We have not had a chance to do either for a while. Maybe if the weather doesn't suck we'll get some time this weekend.

Hubby is a stud - white water canoeing?? Do you use a standard for that or do they have special ones - like kayaks.

I want to live in Oregon and ocean kayak every morning - that would be heaven!

OF COURSE DH is a stud!!! what else?

Oregon is too cloudy for me. I am more of a sunshine gal.

They make white water canoes but you can use regular ones as well. not the really heavy or long ones, though. You put floatation in the canoe (foam) to keep it from filling completely with water and sit on your knees with straps over your feet to keep you in. I have seen people "eskimo roll" a canoe.
The only time I tried it was with a boyfriend in the Chatuge river (of Deliverance fame0 BOY was THAT stoopid. We swam through class 5 whitewater. dumb dumb dumb

If you are up to it (might not be a story you want to share) but what in the world made you leave Montana????????????????????????????????????????? - LOL

I get that all the time about Colorado but it got too commercial - Montana seems perfecto to me

I love Montana. I was born there. My Dad's side of the family still lives there. He was in the military and that took us all over the map. I more or less grew up in Georgia though. Work took me out to Arizona and then to the east coast. I've been in NJ for the last 10 years. But I will retire out west. My cousins live in Missoula and have a house on Flathead lake. I love going to visit. As a semi type A workaholic it is good for me to hang with people who work to live vs live to work.

OK that is cool - we can be friends and you would definitely want to hang out with me - work is a means to travel and exercise and comes a distant 3rd or 4th (I just make it look good by showing up early (then leaving early also) and taking all the good travel sites so the boss thinks I am dedicated

)

Yep I need more friends like you. I work crazy long hours and exercise is a real stress reliever. I also take advantage of the travel my job requires, although sometimes it is exhausting. I would never complain though as it has allowed me to see parts of the world I would never otherwise visit. I haven't been to Africa yet and that is definitely on my list.

I am jealous of you guys that get to travel for work. What a great way to get to see great places. I make people clean up hazardous waste. WHEN I get to travel is to the industrial wastelands of the country.

Now that is a cool goal, although I don't think I could ever be flexible enough to do a split. Hurts just thinking about it.

Robin - That is a cruel lie about Oregon - I think people make it up just to keep us from moving there!

I spent 3 sun filled days in Bend (but that is inland) and the people I chatted with told me it was like that most of the time.

Just like Colorado and snow - sure it snows but it also gets to 60 and 70 in the winter.

Plus Portland is a real foodie city. Lots and lots of great restaurants.

The DH and I spent 2 weeks travelling the entire coast then back up through the Willlamette (sp) valley up into Washington and all along the Cascade river. It was about 1/2 and 1/2 sun and rain. I really liked it and would move there in a heart beat if we weren't the keepers of the family homestead.

Robin I just extend my stay - most times I am in industrial parks and stuff like that but my hours are pretty short when I travel most times so I just extend the stay or make due with the free time I have.

Thursday I landed at 1:45 but could not see my client until Friday morning so I headed off to Lake Tahoe. Most of the guys I work with would go check in the hotel and find the local bar. I went for a cool drive and saw a pretty cool place. Should have planned better and I could have snuck a nice hike in but I was lallygagging too much!

I get to sit in an office in the ghetto and hope the giant spiders don't get me! I'd pick traveling any day over what I have now!

I used to do that as well, That is how I got to San Fransico and Napa a couple of years ago. However, I work for the state and we have NO money. I can't even go out to monitor the sites I have here but once in a blue moon.
