If I could hang out with anyone for an hour it would be Hunter S. Thompson. I'm a big fan of his writing and I suspect that there was never a dull moment around him. I have no clue what we'd do for an hour but I have no doubts that it would be interesting.
We can't stop here, this is bat country!
As for my ideal way to spend an hour, that would probably be either kicked back reading a good book or out hiking in the backcountry.
I'm down for some hiking in the backcountry for an hour with you but then it's biking in the hackcountry for my hour. Time to load up the camera and grease dem'thur peddles mmkay.
I reckon I can handle that. We should probably cap it off with an hour of kayaking, get some class 3s and 4s in...
Oh dude. Speaking my language. You know where I'm staying now, we're ((surrounded-ounded)) by water. Pura and I have picked up about 3 or 4 kayaks now in stores, yard sales, etc and she still hasn't been able to say "yeah, I can pick this one up" so we could put it on top of the Subaru. Still looking @coloneljethro, there's gotta be one out there somewhere that's light enough for a little 120 pounder to help me get it on the top. You're not familiar with one like that by chance?
Put a roller (like a bow roller from a boat trailer) on the back of your Subaru. Lay the nose of the kayak on the roller, walk to the other end and roll it on. I used to manage a 10' fiberglass boat in a pickup by myself that way...
This response sent chills to my forehead! Tom, you're a genius!
Not offhand, I normally just rent or borrow one, the really light ones were always out of my price range anyway. Just have Pura spin around in circles a few times like they do in shot put and toss it up there...
I didn't know where you were going with the twirl and the shotput pieces it together. Dude that's funny.
Yeah. An hour with Hunter S Thompson might be like a month with normal people. Like doggy years in reverse.
Did you see that his wife returned the Elk mount that he stole from the Hemmingway compound? He felt the Elk channeled him and Mrs. H didn't care.
Yeah, I suspect that HST operated on his own separate conception of spacetime.
I did not, that's hilarious! I bet he did :D

ENGAGEtokens.Backcountry hiking sounds like a great way to spend a hour...Although I'd want more!
Thanks for joining in this week, I appreciate it, your answers and continual engagement.

Yeah, any hiking is great but I usually want way more than an hour's worth. With the way I stop and take photos I sometimes don't cover very much ground in an hour...
Engaging with all the people on here is half the fun of hive, I just get easily distracted sometimes.
Well, I will go for hiking. Miss it so much, there is not much hiking here I can do in Viet Nam. 🙂
That is unfortunate, hopefully you can find a way to get a little hiking in. My brother was in Viet Nam a few years ago and showed me some of his photos, I would love to go hiking there.
I guess those you mentioned must be in the north. Unfortunately, after few lockdowns and now we are suffering severe storms and heavy rain for weeks...I havent gone too far my region lately 😐
I will definitely go for a hiking after things better here.
Have a wonderful weekend there :))
I support the hiking in the Backcountry! Love hiking
Hiking is hard to beat, and the backcountry just makes it better. At least as long as the bears leave you alone :)
Don't even think about bears cause they can feel you thinking about them, lol
I've only came across one and I wasn't even thinking about it! I wasn't in the backcountry either, I was standing outside a hostel when it came up out of the creek that cut through the property. Unfortunately it was between me and my camera :(
Oh my! That must be freaking scary
