HowItIs Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 QUOTE (Janie @ May 17 2012, 11:18 PM) QUOTE (HowItIs @ May 17 2012, 07:20 PM) Walking/hiking Cooking (and eating!) The eating part is the best part of the cooking part! As for hiking... this area is so beautiful, right? So many opportunities to do a number of outdoor activities in the most gorgeous environment. Absolutely! We took a nice walk around Theler Wetlands on the Hood Canal a few weeks ago. Hope to do a few day hikes this summer. Oh, I love to take pictures, too! Here's the ones I took on our walk: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.3...=3&l=7091eed2c5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have it for my work actually but I sometimes use it to take recreational pictures. It's an awesome digital camera but very pricy. It uses the Canon EOS lenses though that all of the Cannon SLRs use. I would get a Cannon Rebel digital SLR from Sam's club. You can get one with a 300mm zoom lens for less than $600. http://www.samsclub.com/sams/shop/product....tId=prod1180308 That camera can do everything you want it to and if you ever want to upgrade, you can use the same lenses on the more expensive cameras like the 5D.

Jack Aubrey Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 I've developed an interest in learning flintknapping lately. I've been dinking around with it and reading books on it for about 6 months now and a coupla weeks ago I saw an ad for Go Knapping in the latest issue of Backwoodsman Magazine and I ordered their basic kit. It came in the mail yesterday and I'm off to a friend's house this afternoon because he wants to learn, too. Wish us luck and pray that we don't cut ourselves as flint shards can be sharper than a surgical scalpel. We've got heavy leather gloves, but you still can get hurt if you're not watching out. I'll post pics if we make anything today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombstone Mountain Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 (edited) I play disc golf at a very high level. Taken it to the extreme of actually designing and building a private course so I can play when the urge hits me. I was an official for the United States Disc Golf Championships and got to see the inner workings of the Professional Disc Golf Associations best courses. Took that knowledge and developed a mountain course that is challenging, beautiful, and at times, depressing. People from around the US make appointments to play. Made a lot of friends from around the country and look forward to certain times of the year when i have revered guests (meaning world class players) return for the challenge.
