<\/p>\n
Hi everyone.\u00a0 My name is Dave, and my lifestyle is the driving force behind this activity based website.\u00a0 <\/span>As you click through its pages, you\u2019ll come across various articles and videos meant to describe that lifestyle.\u00a0 Some of the activities you will be familiar with, at least at a cursory level.\u00a0 Others you may not.\u00a0 Regardless, this site will give you a chance to experience them through my eyes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\nMode of Transportation<\/h4>\nI\u2019ll be driving my 1988 Bluebird Wanderlodge WB (widebody) RV throughout Canada, and the United States of America.\u00a0 There is no planned route, no agenda, and no timelines that must be met.\u00a0 Just my interest in new experiences, and my desire to enjoy them as they unfold!<\/p>\nInterests<\/h4>\nAs you might expect,\u00a0I have many interests.\u00a0 Too many to include them all in these pages.\u00a0 Instead, I\u2019ll limit myself to the following:<\/p>\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0(1)\u00a0 Hiking<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 this will include both natural and urban settings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0(2)\u00a0 Mountain Biking<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 I ride intermediate trails using a top-of-the-line dual suspension bike.<\/p>\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0(3)\u00a0 Photography<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 my area of interest is nature and wildlife, but I primarily focus on birds.<\/p>\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0(4)\u00a0 RV Travel<\/strong> \u2013 life on the road, place to place, in my 400 square foot, mobile home.<\/p>\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0(5)\u00a0 Miscellaneous<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 anything of significant interest that doesn\u2019t fit into the other categories.<\/p>\n\nwith some of the more prominent extras added to the miscellaneous pages.<\/p>\nFor Example<\/h4>\nThe theme for my lifestyle can be summed up in one word, \u201cACTIVITY\u201d.\u00a0 Even when I\u2019m not out-and-about, I\u2019m doing something.\u00a0 Whether it be chores around my RV, or business maintenance.\u00a0 There\u2019s always something.\u00a0 I\u2019m a firm believer in the old saying, \u201cuse it or loose it\u201d.<\/p>\nLet me give you an example of how easy it is to go wrong.\u00a0 Remember when you were a kid and would go out riding your bike?\u00a0 I do.\u00a0 I use to ride my bike every day for hours at a time.\u00a0 But as I got older University came, then my work-life.\u00a0 It wasn\u2019t long before I didn\u2019t have time for the simple pleasures like riding.\u00a0 Once I got into my thirties, I discovered that I was 60 pounds over-weight, and couldn\u2019t ride anymore.\u00a0 That made me very unhappy.\u00a0 I needed a change.<\/p>\nEventually, I lost\u00a0 the weight and got back into shape.\u00a0 But it took significant time and effort.\u00a0 Bottom line, change to an \u201cactivity-based\u201d lifestyle now, and save yourself real trouble in the future.<\/p>\nNay Sayers<\/h4>\nSome folks see or hear about the things I do, and shake their heads.\u00a0 In their minds there is no way they could do them.\u00a0 They\u2019re too old, or too out-of-shape, to even consider it.\u00a0 To that I say bullshit!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\nAs I write this (21-Jan-2024), I\u2019ve just turned 62 years of age.\u00a0 Old to some I suppose, and not-so-much to others.\u00a0 I had a kidney transplant about 6 years ago, and I\u2019m a Type 2 diabetic.\u00a0 So, if you think you can\u2019t do the things I present here, you\u2019re mistaken.\u00a0 I can, and so can you.\u00a0 Simply get off your butt and try.\u00a0 Activity!<\/p>\nNow, I\u2019m not suggesting that my activities are the only ones you should consider \u2026 far from it.\u00a0 These are the choices I\u2019ve made.\u00a0 So ask yourself, what are you interested in?\u00a0 Maybe it\u2019s a walk to the local coffee shop for chess, maybe it\u2019s bird watching in your central park, or maybe it\u2019s ice cream with your kids.\u00a0 In the end, it really doesn\u2019t matter what you choose as long as you have an interest, and it keeps you active.<\/p>\nConclusion<\/h4>\nThis is important.\u00a0 If you don\u2019t keep active, you\u2019ll eventually loose the ability to participate in any activity.\u00a0 You\u2019ll become the proverbial couch potato, no physical or mental challenge.\u00a0 Don\u2019t let this happen to you.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0(2)\u00a0 Mountain Biking<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 I ride intermediate trails using a top-of-the-line dual suspension bike.<\/p>\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0(3)\u00a0 Photography<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 my area of interest is nature and wildlife, but I primarily focus on birds.<\/p>\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0(4)\u00a0 RV Travel<\/strong> \u2013 life on the road, place to place, in my 400 square foot, mobile home.<\/p>\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0(5)\u00a0 Miscellaneous<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 anything of significant interest that doesn\u2019t fit into the other categories.<\/p>\n\nwith some of the more prominent extras added to the miscellaneous pages.<\/p>\nFor Example<\/h4>\nThe theme for my lifestyle can be summed up in one word, \u201cACTIVITY\u201d.\u00a0 Even when I\u2019m not out-and-about, I\u2019m doing something.\u00a0 Whether it be chores around my RV, or business maintenance.\u00a0 There\u2019s always something.\u00a0 I\u2019m a firm believer in the old saying, \u201cuse it or loose it\u201d.<\/p>\nLet me give you an example of how easy it is to go wrong.\u00a0 Remember when you were a kid and would go out riding your bike?\u00a0 I do.\u00a0 I use to ride my bike every day for hours at a time.\u00a0 But as I got older University came, then my work-life.\u00a0 It wasn\u2019t long before I didn\u2019t have time for the simple pleasures like riding.\u00a0 Once I got into my thirties, I discovered that I was 60 pounds over-weight, and couldn\u2019t ride anymore.\u00a0 That made me very unhappy.\u00a0 I needed a change.<\/p>\nEventually, I lost\u00a0 the weight and got back into shape.\u00a0 But it took significant time and effort.\u00a0 Bottom line, change to an \u201cactivity-based\u201d lifestyle now, and save yourself real trouble in the future.<\/p>\nNay Sayers<\/h4>\nSome folks see or hear about the things I do, and shake their heads.\u00a0 In their minds there is no way they could do them.\u00a0 They\u2019re too old, or too out-of-shape, to even consider it.\u00a0 To that I say bullshit!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\nAs I write this (21-Jan-2024), I\u2019ve just turned 62 years of age.\u00a0 Old to some I suppose, and not-so-much to others.\u00a0 I had a kidney transplant about 6 years ago, and I\u2019m a Type 2 diabetic.\u00a0 So, if you think you can\u2019t do the things I present here, you\u2019re mistaken.\u00a0 I can, and so can you.\u00a0 Simply get off your butt and try.\u00a0 Activity!<\/p>\nNow, I\u2019m not suggesting that my activities are the only ones you should consider \u2026 far from it.\u00a0 These are the choices I\u2019ve made.\u00a0 So ask yourself, what are you interested in?\u00a0 Maybe it\u2019s a walk to the local coffee shop for chess, maybe it\u2019s bird watching in your central park, or maybe it\u2019s ice cream with your kids.\u00a0 In the end, it really doesn\u2019t matter what you choose as long as you have an interest, and it keeps you active.<\/p>\nConclusion<\/h4>\nThis is important.\u00a0 If you don\u2019t keep active, you\u2019ll eventually loose the ability to participate in any activity.\u00a0 You\u2019ll become the proverbial couch potato, no physical or mental challenge.\u00a0 Don\u2019t let this happen to you.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\nNote<\/strong>:\u00a0 Thanks to John Boland, a talented photographer in his own right, for taking time out of his busy schedule to capture this image.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>Published On: 13-Feb-2024<\/span><\/span>By dgloag<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/span><\/div>Dave’s Newsletter<\/p><\/h3><\/div>Discover the thrill of the great outdoors on my adventure website.\u00a0 Explore breathtaking hiking trails, conquer rugged terrain on your mountain bike, or capture nature’s beauty with your camera.\u00a0 All from your inbox.\u00a0 Adventure awaits!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>subscribe<\/span><\/button><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/form><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-3069","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\nAbout -
