    I continue to be amazed at your effortless command of the English language. I lived and worked in Germany for a year in my youth after college working for the US Army. I struggled to master even the simplest german phrases such as "Heilbronn, hin und zuruch bitte" at the train station. I lived in Grossingersheim and had to commute to Necksarsulm to work. Bike to the train staion, train, then walk, every day. Even so, it was a delightful time of my life.

    “Lake” comes first when it’s named after a specific person or place. Like Lake Michigan or Lake Powell. If the name of the lake describes something about the lake, “lake” comes second, such as Elbow Lake or Emerald Lake.

    Good morning, Juliane. Those lakes, all of them are beautiful and look so refreshing. Good mileage today, especially for a late start. Ya'll are doing so well. That ice cream looked tasty. Good to briefly see Somewhere and she even waved at us. Smart move to move farther than the camp. Will definitely be more conducive to sleep. Take care. Stay safe. See you tomorrow.

    Sadly, trail runners have a short lifespan compared to boots, but the lightweight aspect is very attractive. Now days even many boots use the same materials and manufacturing techniques and have similar lifespan drawbacks, as well as environmental effects (plastics in the trash).

    Lake Tahoe is on my bucket list of places to go someday! Are the lakes you mentioned and showed in your video part of Lake Tahoe with different sections having different names or are they completely different lakes? The lakes are so beautiful and crystal clear! I would love to swim there minus the mosquitos haha. Hmm..interesting about how you find 81 in Florida "colder" than a California 81 degrees. I live in NJ and we also have the hot and humid summer days, but I remember when I went to California, I found the dry heat not as hot as the humid heat. I also loved how the California heat kept my hair nicer and not frizzy like how the humid heat does to my hair. I am a July birthday too..July 16th. 😊

    I'm still enjoying your videos. I primarily use New Balance inexpensive trail runner shoes and they seem to last a really long time for being so inexpensive. I just got a new pair because my old ones are looking beat up but still usable. I always question if spending a ton of money on trail runner name brands is worth the money.

    Salomon hiking sneakers are my faves, but I prefer the ones with the contra grip soles, they don't wear out as fast as the trail runner soles. And the traction is better in my experience...

    LIGHT WEIGHT HIKING BOOTS 🧐

    • @memathews
      @memathews 2 місяці тому

      Lightweight hiking boots have similar problems if their materials and manufacturing technology are similar. Generally speaking, if the materials and manufacturing are not similar, then the boots are heavier. I can squeeze a cooler of thousand miles out of hiking boots, but it takes longer to go the distance!
