We play at Florida Atlantic next yearI don’t know if anyone knows this or not yet , but do have any away games in Florida next season ? Planning a vacation , thanks !
That will be perfect , we have friends that live in that areaWe play at Florida Atlantic next year
I was thinking about going to that game , but decided to go to Florida instead, we went to Wyoming last yearPlanning to go to Seattle for the UW game.
Planning as wellPlanning to go to Seattle for the UW game.
Washington will be a once in a lifetime game. We go back to FAU three years from now.I was thinking about going to that game , but decided to go to Florida instead, we went to Wyoming last year
Thinking about it. Never been. Sailgating looks funPlanning to go to Seattle for the UW game.
Same, we're looking at a Hood River, Oregon vacation at the same time.Planning as well
Go down to the Mt. St. Helens area. Fascinating.We are talking about getting out of the city and doing some hiking as well. Not sure where yet

The answer here is the Skyline Loop in Mount Ranier NP and it’s not even close. 6 miles and a short drive from Seattle. With one of the best views in the lower 48. Go counter clockwise. Thank Huffy when you get back.Go down to the Mt. St. Helens area. Fascinating.
Did half of the Skyline Loop when I climbed Rainier. (You start at Paradise Visitor Center for both, taking the trail up and then breaking off at the Muir Snowfields to go up to Camp Muir before the ascent the next day).The answer here is the Skyline Loop in Mount Ranier NP and it’s not even close. 6 miles and a short drive from Seattle.

If you want an achievable challenge, hike to the third Borough in MRNP. Trailhead starts at highest drivable point in the park then heads up another 3,000 feet. About 5 miles then a lollipop back, but you’ll Huff and puff.
Naches Peak Loop is much easier with a lake view and Mt Ranier in front of you the whole way. You see a lot of female hikers post parts of this on Instagram in early summer.
Rialto Beach Loop in Olympic NP. It’s basically a beach stroll and easy. Might be a good idea depending on who is in your group. Good luck out there, absolutely bring full rain gear and Gore Tex footwear. Don’t forget the 10 essentials!
I forgot the Kendall Katwalk. It’s about a two hour drive from Seattle. It’s part of the Pacific Crest Trail. Doable for intermediate hikers. About 15 miles rt and 2500 ft elevation gain. Tops out at 5500 feet roughly. The views are absolutely spectacular. But you pay the price to do it.We are talking about getting out of the city and doing some hiking as well. Not sure where yet
Wow… spectacular. I’ve done trails like that a couple of times, about crapped my pants doing so. At least it’s well-named lol. Thanks for finding this.I forgot the Kendall Katwalk.

About 200 yards of the trail is carved out of a rock face. So it’s 4 feet wide of uneven terrain with an exposed cliff that plummets between 70 and 2000 feet. No chains or via ferrata. Sounds crazy. But very doable. The kind of thing folks in the suburbs put on Instagram to look cool but once you do it you say it wasn’t so bad.

So I have a paralyzing fear of heights/falling..to the point I would meet my wife and kids at the other end of the SkyRide at the fair because there was no way I was getting on that thing.
I have a healthy fear of heights/ falling as well. The worst hiking experience I have had was a trail at the top of a ridge with 1000 foot drops on both sides…. I had a pretty embarrassing panic attack.So I have a paralyzing fear of heights/falling..to the point I would meet my wife and kids at the other end of the SkyRide at the fair because there was no way I was getting on that thing.
I only have that fear momentarily when I’m putting weight on the harness to do a repel off of a cliff. Climbing up the face isn’t so bad though (as long as I’m roped in)I have a healthy fear of heights/ falling as well.

Yikes. I could not do that…I tried and was very unsuccessful. I figure if I need to get to the top that bad….that’s why they invented ski lifts lolI only have that fear momentarily when I’m putting weight on the harness to do a repel off of a cliff.

I remember getting quite nervous next to a window in the WTC. Don’t remember which floor. Same feeling at the top of the Eiffel Tower. It didn’t help that it was a windy day. It was before the movie European Vacation was made, but looking back I can still see that dog jumping off chasing after a beret.I have a healthy fear of heights/ falling as well.

Artist Point at Yosemite is well known for selfies gone bad. It’s shocking how many guests ignore the railings to get closer to the ledge.There’s nothing quite like climbing a distillation tower in a chemical plant or refinery and feeling the wind effect on the structure on which you are standing. Most fun was standing on top of a flare stack that was out of service and one that was held in place using guy wires. You don’t realize how much the top of that structure moves in a light wind.
As for the trail, I’ll pass. I’ve walked on some of the trails at Yosemite and didn’t worry too much until one of the park rangers stated that a visitor had fallen off the trail the week before and died as a result.
Ironically they’re not shy about telling you how dangerous it is at Yellowstone. The attitude is very much “f around and find out” there. Stories of people being mauled by bears, Buffalo, moose, falling through the crust near hot pots and geysers, drowning in rivers… everything.There’s an entire book, more than 300 pages, with short and simple summaries of people killed in the Grand Canyon from the tragic to the stupid. The guy that mimicked slipping and falling over the edge, as he stood on the barrier wall, because he could see a small ledge below him between the wall and the canyon that his 10 year old daughter standing on the sidewalk couldn’t see is maybe the the most tragic. He thought he would “fall”, land on the ledge and pop up to surprise her. He “fell”, lost his balance as he stood up, based on scuff marks in the gravel, then fell 600 feet straight down.
And those are just the known deaths. The NPS is famous for refusing to discuss details of the deaths in the Canyon because they do not want to deter visits.
I thought that was the area where the sorority girls used to sunbathe on campus?I forgot the Kendall Katwalk. It’s about a two hour drive from Seattle. It’s part of the Pacific Crest Trail.

I was always scared of heights...so I became a paratrooper in WWII and jumped for four years....did not work! Still afraid of heights.I only have that fear momentarily when I’m putting weight on the harness to do a repel off of a cliff. Climbing up the face isn’t so bad though (as long as I’m roped in)
Excuse me for asking, I think you've mentioned it before, but I've forgotten.. Do you mind reminding me of you're age?I was always scared of heights...so I became a paratrooper in WWII and jumped for four years....did not work! Still afraid of heights.
My wife did this a couple of times when she had a summer job at a Marathon refinery in Cotton Valley, LA. She absolutely hated that summer and decided not to go directly into the oil and gas industry. She works mostly with oil and gas but as an environmental compliance engineer doing soil and water samples. No more climbing for her, just playing in toxic waste 😂There’s nothing quite like climbing a distillation tower in a chemical plant or refinery and feeling the wind effect on the structure on which you are standing.
