It's kind of embarrassing how clean my hiking shoes are.
I took my new hiking boots for another test run yesterday. Lulu and I headed down the hill and over to a nearby small lazy river late morning, since the forecast was for hot hot hot temps later in the day. Lulu has never met a river. I thought it was about time that introductions were made.
I thought the water looked cool and refreshing.
What?! Go IN the water? Are you nutso?
But it was a nice little -- very little -- walk. I made it back to Goldie without falling on my face, or on Lulu, and once home didn't have a mega-crash.
Ahh.

Try the hiking pole(s). I'm not kidding this time. I used to feel so clumsy and precarious when clambering over rocks and was so scared I'd roll an ankle and/or take a tumble I couldn't enjoy the scenery when we'd go for hikes. Also my knees and back would whine about going up and downhill, but the poles help distribute the stresses. The difference is astonishing. There are even poles that have tripod connections for your camera.
Those are really spiffy boots, Happy Hiking!
Ahhhh. I can just smell the fresh air and hear the water rolling over the rocks.
Well, LuLu might not have been impressed, but I was! I always love looking at your pictures. They are like a little mini "mind" vacation for me. Thanks so much for posting them!
We are fortunate to have such clear and clean water in our neck of the woods compared to other parts of the world. I absolutely love your boots....blue is my favorite color.
Very nice river. Athletic Julia goes to the head of the line! I wish I could visit
Annette, Annette.....girlfriend. First of all, come visit anytime! Secondly, seriously? Athletic Julia? Bwahahahahahahaha. There's a reason that my shoes are so clean.
