Right on [mention]Giles [/mention] The Slubbies have just begun to shed the slightest bit of indigo. I’m thinking another week of hiking and we’re really start to see something special

So glad to hear that [mention]Giles [/mention] I’ve really enjoyed my mornings in the slub & wabby combo. Now that I feel that I’ve gone through my local trials pretty well. It’s time to adventure out a bit more. Looking forward to heading to some new spots on days where I have a bit longer to hike.

You have some magical places there…...

This where mine is being shed…...

Indigo transfer on white leather is still pretty rad!

Images out of fairy tales.  Beautiful!

Have you always hiked this much or is this a new routine to put some wear on the slub?

Hey [mention]Paul9221 [/mention] I’ve been a once a week hiker more or less for the past few years. I took on the challenge for slubs along with losing my COVID weight. Now that I’m fully vaccinated I feel a lot better about going outside and adventuring. It was a long year of the unknown which led to much stress, eating, and drinking. I committed to 100 hikes this summer/fall to get back into shape, beat up the slubs, and a nice way to kick the COVID blues.

I’m really surprised with how dream like these photos can be. Honestly, I’m not doing too much other than I think going at the right time. I try to get on the trail early because it’ll get way to hot out. As I’ve gotten to know my older body a little better, I tend to swell up on long hikes in the heat. So I’m sticking to medium length hikes in morning. Hope to show some more of what western PA has to offer. I’m heading out to Yellow Creek State Park tomorrow morning. I used to fish there all the time as a kid, but I never really did hike it. So it’ll be a fun way to experience some place I’ve known for a long time.

@Fadez I relate so much with what you just wrote.  I am an avid dieter and exercise nut, but I can't tell you how many times I've found myself eating cereal and watching cartoons at 3AM during this pandemic.  Before the pandemic, I would drink maybe once a month, now I'm finding myself drinking about 3 times a week.  Never heavy, never raging, you know, but a tall glass of wine or a short glass of whiskey.  It's a lot more frequent compared to what it was.

As for the hikes, it's hard to take bad pictures of a great subject   I'm a wannabe photographer and being stuck indoors for a pandemic means that I rarely take pictures anymore.  You're inspiring me to find good hiking spots, though.

You're going to lose a ton of weight with these hikes, and you're getting some fresh air and fading some great new jeans for the whole lot of us, and getting to see some great sites.  What a fantastic combo   I just don't know that your clothes are going to fit you very well if you keep this up

Thanks again for sharing!
