Camping
Question:
The fun parts.. To get away from it all I went bike riding. I got 20 miles in altogether. Mainly on Saturday. I know not many miles really, but to me its a something. 20 miles is *plenty* for someone who doesn’t cycle on a regular basis. congratulations on doing it.
oh yes last summer I did 22 miles in a day with my sister in the Loire Valley, neither of us cycle on a regular basis so it was pretty tough. it was a sunday and the only wine maker we planned to visit was closed, so were all the chateaus we planned to visit on the route. we were chased out when we sneaked into one chateau that is normally open for public access for a pee.

I started out at just 5 miles a day. Worked my way up to the 20 now. Trying to do it three times a week. Don’t think it will be a problem. I love biking.
good for you! i love it too. i’m really glad i started doing it again. it’s so good for you, and it can be a nice way to meditate.

- Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Then planning a longer one too, around Kelly’s Island. Looking into Where do you live? I’m about an hour from Kelly’s Island, assuming you mean the one on Lake Erie’s shore. The scenery was beautiful for sure! I thought about going to other states to camp. But havn’t yet really seen all of Ohio. Its different in all areas of the state. So doing Ohio this year. I live in Columbus. In the suburbs. Southwestern part. I grew up out of downtown though, near OSU campus. I mainly hit the State Parks. There is a couple near Kelly’s Island. Cattawba, south and central bass islands. The islands look interesting. Then I am into lighthouses. There is Marblehead lighthouse near there. I have in-law family in Cleveland. So been up to Lake Erie in that area, but not near the islands. So, looking very forward to that trip. I think around July, for my birthday we will do that trip. Making it a week long one. Even looking into renting something out for a week, instead of camping it. Have you been there? Whats it like? I love the beach. The boys love to fish. Should be something for all of us to do.
I haven’t been to Kelly’s Island yet. We mostly go to Put-In-Bay (South Bass Island). It’s a nice get away for a day. Go to the top of Perry’s Monument for a nice view (on a clear day, you can see Pelee Island in Canada). Visit the caverns. You can tour the winery. There is a nice nature spot. They have parasailing. Most of the restaurants have live entertainment in the afternoons and evenings. Rent a bike or golf cart for the day, take your own bike or car on the ferry, or just walk everywhere. I believe the island is only something like 3 miles wide by 5 miles long. Marblehead lighthouse is very close to the Miller Ferry. Enjoy! Marsha/Ohio

We camped with two other families. That was harder than I thought. In the way..that it bothered me big time, what they ate, what they even fed their kids. The all day long eating. The junk food. Made me more determined to stick to this WOE.

I know not many miles really, but to me its a something. Considering my back, neck, and the fibromyalgia. Took a group of kids on a 5 mile hike also. Packed along beef jerky and lots of water. Where we fished at, no trout. But we did catch Bass, Catfish, Bluegill. I caught a couple Catfish myself. Even cooked it and ate it. Was pretty damn good. I brought enough yougurt to feed the whole group. The homemade sort. With the syrp, fresh fruit, whole yogurt. The kids thought it as a dessert. The rains came back, so came home a little early this morning. Took a long nap. Got what feels like allergies or a cold coming on. Plan on sleeping it off. The trip was very invigorating though. Plan on doing a couple more. Most likely next weekend, though leaving on Thursday…(Kids get outta school for the year that day) To a campground near the mohican river. Better chance at trout fishing. Then planning a longer one too, around Kelly’s Island. Looking into buying two boats, like paddle or rowboats, or canoes. The rental on the boats are a little high I think. Also, not camping with others who aren’t low carbing, or at the least eating healthy. I got the exercise also with the boating. I think exercise is alot easier if its fun to do. -Peace of mind comes from accepting what we cannot control and taking responsibility for what we can.- Atkins since 1/17/04 267/214/135 CCLL-40
