Re: What other hobbies or sports do you have besides MBs?
CANT DO THAT WITH PONDEROSSA PINES they snap off !! i know i topped trees for years!!Hiking, preferably rough terrain. Fishing, camping, spelunking and finding copper at all these copper mines around here. I've got three lakes within 5 miles of me, all accessed via dirt trails, which is one small reason I got an MB.....................I never was much into hiking long stretches of flat trails.
I also enjoy tinkering, building and imaginative creating, as well as cutting and splitting firewood. Love the great outdoors!
Can't forget computers and computer oriented program manipulation.
As far as sports go, the closest I could come to that is what we call spring poling. You start at the top of a big steep hill where there is a lot of ,say, 15-20' tall trees, (the steeper the hill, the taller the trees) and you run and jump to catch the top of the first tree, and it will spring you all the way out and down so you can hit the ground and grab the next top of a tree. You do this all the way to the bottom! It's a real rush! TOTALLY!! There's a lot of country here for it.
(Word of warning....do not jump off a cliff to grab a tree top....it may be rooted in rocky ground, in which it will snap at the base and you won't spring!!.......I did that once, thought I broke both my legs when I regained my senses way down there on the bottom!)
