Keeping this topic alive though because trip reports are fun.

Not too much to report. Still here. Last night was hot and then the rain last night was sideways and fell on us in the middle of the night. But otherwise a lot of fun. Went hiking and hung out at the "beach" today. About to build a bonfire and have bourbon.

Had another epiphany last night about how I do think I want to marry my gf, so that is really good

In theory, how to improve your life.

It looks really good to me.

Tough love works. Look at how Gordon Ramsey shows up on Kitchen Nightmares and says "The crepes were CRAP" and then transforms the restaurant.

I agree tough love can work. But what until after they sign up. Lol

I don't need coaching though.

You are too condescending to ever be a life coach

Yeah I haven't had ceviche, but I eat sushi and sashimi when I can spare the cash just fine. I'm curious to try it after this experience. The flavor was tasty.

Oh yeah, if you can eat sushi, you'd be fine. It is found at nice restaurants that serve South American cuisine, sometimes Mexican places too. But also really easy to make, other than having to chop up a ton of things. I used fish and scallops because of a shrimp allergy, but shrimp is popular for it.

Unfortunately my intestines weren't equipped to handle it. I wonder if they would get used to it through exposure.

They would probably be fine with the seafood. Acid cooked beef seems rougher

I clicked into this and then saw the first post. Thanks

Anyway, ceviche is acid cooked fish & seafood with onions, peppers, salsa, avocado, etc. I even made it once. Basically just soak the raw meat in citric acid (lemon, lime, orange juice) for a bit and then mix with the other ingredients. Basically super fancy nachos.

i've been on enough boats with drunks in the summer heat to tell it how it is, sorry you dont like reality.

You know, I am sure you are right about that. People are stupid. Maybe it is just the way you said like there is no way to have a pontoon party without being a dumbass. I have it done it multiple times, and we get buzzed but not drunk drunk. And the driver stayed sober.

That'll work too.

Edibles are great. Especially if you're not a big smoker. It hits you way harder if you don't have a high tolerance.

Oh, it hits me. I rarely do it.

And yeah, I don't smoke other than a cigar with the guys every couple weeks.

Ive actually never done that. I should put that on the list

Not sure if thin waterfalls turn blue or not. The one I go to is one that, while only about 50 feet high, is wide with a lot of flow.

Im pretty conditioned to the heat so summer hiking is my favorite. Hard to beat fall views but you cant really do much swimming if its later in the fall. Not a huge fan of winter hiking honestly

Well yeah, jumping in the lake after the hike will be great. I just can't imagine doing a 3 or 4 hour hike in 90 degrees, like I do in the fall.

Try hiking to a frozen waterfall in the winter, where the ice looks blue. Gorgeous

Nice, enjoy! We go camping every year but we rent a cabin in a state park. No electricity or running water, so still pretty rustic, but we have beds. :P

Have you ever made, we call them zip packs, where you put a bunch of food veggies, meat, etc. in some aluminum foil and place the package directly in the fire/on the coals to cook?

I haven't done that. Maybe my gf or friend have?

a-c-a-b posted...

and mushrooms.

Camping with friends is by far the best time for mushrooms.

Never done mushrooms, but considering getting edibles from a friend.

Camping and hiking are just about my favorite things in life and Ive done it in different parts of the world. Just went again last weekend for a small day trip to jump off a 40 ft waterfall. The trail to get there was wild and we had to do some light off-roading on the jeep to find the trail head. Hiking with a group is literally some of the most fun you can have imo. Though Im not much on setting up camp and just chilling all day. I gotta be on the move

Not much advice for such a short trip but bring extra socks!

That's awesome. I do love hiking a lot, and I know we plan to do that during the day tomorrow, but it is hot so might not last long. There is also a beach and a lake nearby, so that might end up being more of the day. I kinda hate the middle of summer. I love hiking in the fall the most by far. Even the winter. 20 degrees through the snow is a good workout and you warm up fast.

Have fun! I did a lot of camping when I was in my twenties too - while I enjoyed the outdoors sharing time with friends was really the bigger draw. If you haven't, pack a few extra tarps, they always come in handy. The hammock someone suggested is awesome if you are by yourself, there's specially designed camping hammocks that pack up really light and are completely waterproof. Sleeping in one was a big strange at first as you didn't really have anything under you.

I think my girlfriend has a few tarps. She is in charge!

She has the tent and goes every summer with this other guy (who has been a friend of both of us for years, long before we were dating), his gf, and a couple other people. I am being dragged into it now :)

It's actually funny, this mutual friend of ours predicted we would end up dating years ago, but neither of us thought it would happen.

My wife and I got into camping a few years ago and we love it.

Do yourself a favor and pick up some fresh corn to roast over an open fire. It's summertime bliss <3

Ooh, sweet corn to go with my corn booze (Bourbon)

Who wants a Series S? I am even trying to figure out why anyone wants a Series X. What exclusives does it even have that are worth it? Not a fanboy question, but a legit one. I think console wars between consumers is stupid and I choose based on the games. However, the PS5 is looking so much better in terms of exclusives. The Switch too; might be weak but it has the games.

I love camping.

I sleep in a hammock with a rain tarp over it. I swear it's some of the best sleep I've had. Even better if it's like 50 degrees at night.

I wish it was 50 degrees! Only getting down to like 76 tonight and sharing a tent with my girlfriend. Sounds good but it will be hot. At least Saturday night will get down in the 60s

Camping isn't really my thing. I like hiking and campfires and being outdoors, but then would rather go back to a bed. But this is one thing my gf really wanted to do and she doesn't usually ask for much. 8 of us going.

It probably will be fun but my PS5 arrives today, and I would rather be playing Miles Morales and Demon's Souls!

Anyway, any campers here? Or any good weekend plans?
