Magazine Notes

Monday was a bonus day postal mail wise. Both Outside and Backpacker magazine were in the box. I noted the follwing as I read through them.

"avid outdoor athlete....spends as much time as she can hiking and exploring America's public lands."

I'm becoming ever more avid. I enjoy Michigan's public lands such as the Manistee National forest.

Marathon monk

This cat had to do things like walk 37.5 miles per day for 100 days etc. I manage maybe 5 miles per day.....

"Expeditions from my trailer home tend to be slip shod and half assed."

Some of my trips are less than fully realized but I don't think as bad as above.

Dogs need 8 ounces of water per hour of hiking

OK 3 dogs =24 ounces per hour. I carry 2 32 ounce water bottles which is 64 ounces. Going by this I need to refill both bottles every 3 hours.
