You must have something to balance out the indoor hobby that audio is. Right? I have plenty things I do outdoors and now that my son is ready for camping I am ready to pick up my fishing and hunting hobby again. Let us know what you do outdoors and if you have nice pictures to post, feel free.

    I love to camp, hunt, and fish, but with all my injuries I can't do it much anymore:(
    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.

    Try to do a little here and there. Mostly fishing in the summer, a little cross country skiing, should get back into ice fishing, outdoor hockey and lacrosse. Mostly things to get and little exercise and keep the 11 year old active.

    Ice fishing is fun in the spring when the sun is up. I used to do that a lot with my grandparents when I was young. Not much of that here in Texas. :)

    Those are some great places! I've been to Alps a few times, and would love to see the rest of those places on your list, especially Machu Pichu.

    Love to camp, hike, fish, raft, sail, and mountain bike. My wife and daughter do also which makes it easy. The first date I had with my wife was actually a fishing date on the Missouri river outside of Columbia, Mo. I was the only one who caught anything and, true story, it was a size 13 mens cordovan leather dress shoe with a 2" heel. Put it on a stringer and took a picture but I don't know where it is.

    LOL sex can definitely be an outdoor activity. I like cycling, and used to be an avid runner before I tore my MCL and it never healed right. Actually, I just got back from the hospital about 14 hours ago for torn/swollen muscles in my lower back, so I'll be out of commission for a while when it comes to outdoor activity. A good excuse to listen to more hifi though ;)

    Moved to Colorado in June to have more outdoor options than wisconsin. My fiance and I have kayaks (for lakes), mountain bikes, hike all the time, I'm starting to get into photography, camping, fishing, and she snowboards. I'm not a winter fan so I sorta hibernate these months but also just picked up a set of golf clubs to get back into that after 2 years off the course.

    Almost all of these activities will culminate in one amazing honeymoon to the Galapagos as well!

    City limits fishing, ponds, rivers, urban environments.

    I've already been hiking like 5-6 times this year...it's been pretty nice out here the last couple weeks.

    Yesterday, I hiked a 7 mile trail both ways. I was out there basically all day...had a great time.

    As a family we go Fishing during the summer. It's a great time and everyone has a good time.
    Personally I love Mountain Biking. I love nothing more then getting up on a hot summer morning early and hitting the trails. Start out with a Hot cup of WAWA coffee , a Cliff bar for the energy boost after a few miles in , Vitamin water on the bike water bottle holder , A Sausage egg and cheese on a Bagel in the belly for energy . Bottle of water waiting in the Pathfinder for the ride home , God I gotta get out of this house and hit the trail, this is going to happen today once the weather warms up , we are getting 75 degrees today and I'm effin riding.

    For me it's fishing, camping, hiking, and hunting. I used to be a flyfishing guide before my full time job got too busy and got in the way. One of thesed days I plan on giving it up and going back to a full time fly fishing guide. I'm looking forward to that day!

    I very much enjoy going backpacking. Usually do 3 day trips. My favorite spots are in Seqoiua/Kings Canyone National Parks in the California Sierra Nevada Mountains. We'll be going again in July and should be great.

    Taken from a recent Audioholics reply regarding "Club Polk" and Polk speakers:
    "I'm yet to hear a Polk speaker that merits more than a sentence and 60 seconds discussion." :\
    My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....
