Hikes In Denim
-
Thanks [mention]RoxRocks86 [/mention] ! The weather has definitely varied. I try to go in the morning when it’s a bit cooler, lately that’s been 60-70F. But I’ve done a few afternoon hikes in 80-85F. Really hot for me. After my afternoon Frick Park hike last Friday I had to shave my beard and head again. That kind of heat tipped the scales for me. The slubs do their fair share of breathing, not quite like 21 oz, but since they’re much lighter it works. If you’re able to wear the tight weave of the 14oz comfortably in HI, then I think the slubs would be welcome on the island as well

Good to know! Thanks for the tidbit

It’s been thunder storming on and off for the last few days. There was quite a bit of damage. The road I was on was completely blocked off by two fallen trees. Was able to move one part of the tree to walk past. The rain cut me short today, but I did have a great time taking some photos of the Little Yellow River.

I enjoy your closeup pics and the inside-forest scenes! Keep them coming sir, they are so enjoyable.

Was recently out at Kayak Point Disc Golf resort. I was a little surprised how chilly it was when I stepped out of the car. Thankfully, I had packed my pair of IH for when I hit town later that day, so I slid some IH-777S-21 over my hiking/running shorts for a round. I was pleasantly surprised how the denim felt throughout that round. I couldn't straddle putt out quite as wide, but was otherwise fine in comfort level. Long course too, something like 8000ft of playing distance, with a long walk between 4-5 and 13-14. Hiking/disc golf in denim is not usually my thing, but wouldn't dismiss it at this point.
Plus, it was great to have a little protection against all the thorny berry bushes that grow up there.
EDIT: put to putt.

Right on [mention]FlannelnBooze [/mention] ! Glad to hear about your outdoor adventures! Feel free to post pics if you like. This thread is for everyone
Unfortunately, no photos of me out on the course. Here are a couple I snagged of the course. Some monster holes even on the 'easier' of the two courses. Lots of walking in my IH out there.
By far and away my favorite hole on the course, and the only technical shot on the full 18:
Yes, I packed my discs in a shopping bag, since I couldn't fit my disc golf bag into my work bag among work clothes, PPE, running stuff, and my Aeropress.
