I set off today on one my toughest local hikes, on a nice day like today the views make it all worth it though !!!!

With my bladder struggling to contain my 5 pints of tea from this morning , this toilet stop became my first view point, I wish all toilets had this view !!!!

There are no nice level paths on this hike, this pic shows the footpath !

Me and Maisy taking a breather....

I gathered some tinders to test while I drank yet more tea......

There was no shortage of good dry stuff around here and it lit up straight away....

Again, good stuff. If I get tired of the typical Michigan winter grays and dull browns, I can always look to your pics for some actual color. :D Thanks.

This thread suffers from insufficient tea content! ;)

Looks like a beautiful hike, with nice vantage points and a steep enough grade to keep things interesting.

Thanks for the gorgeous pics, as always.

All the best,

PS Maisy looks pretty alert in that shot. Another possible sasquatch sighting?
 
Great pics there. As for the tea I thought it was only us Brits that drank that much. What's your choice of tipple? I'm a tetley tea man, not fancy or rare just like me.

I am British, only been over here for 2 1/2 years !!!

I drink any tea but the one I drink the most is Tetley Earl Grey with Vanilla !!!;):thumbup:
 
You guys and your danged tea!:rolleyes:

Great pics again Pitdog, I always look forward to seeing the views you post, and Maisy is an always welcome face.:thumbup:
 
Ah, toilets with a view! :D

Tetley's is good, but Earl Grey with Vanilla??? :barf: That's a bit too frou-frou for me!

About the strangest I get is Lapsang Souchong, but I usually drink a strong Irish Breakfast tea.
 
Great pics bro. Im not english, but I too enjoy a hot cup of tea on the trail..... If I could only find small packets of powdered lemon I would be set!
 
Great pictures. Another interesting hike.

Man your wife must have a good job for you to have so much time to hike. :eek: ;)
 
Awesome pics Pit. I'm so jealous of the time you get out on the trail. It will start picking up for me. My kids and their sports take all my time. Spring is baseball nonstop and fall is football and soccer. My son and I should be able to start getting out more for the next few months.

I've tried the Earl Grey and it makes me kind of nauseous. Sweet iced tea with a wedge of lemon for me...
 
Pit you're a double lucky guy then. British and living in Vancouver i'm jealous.

As for teas drinking am I the only one that likes it s bit milky and sweet. It's almost like an energy drink that way, for me anyway.
 
great pics Pit! try some spruce or pine tea next time your out! bring honey its a nice touch.
