Getting Antsy

Don't know how else to put this but I am going some what stir crazy these last 2 weeks.  Too many graduation and weddings and parties that are breaking up my weekends.

I have not got one trail ride in - too much rain closes the trails.  Had not got much paddling in because I have not had the time to devote to a trip of more than 2 hours. The only thing I have done is hiking, but I want to expand that to some overnight hiking trips in the area.  I really want to test myself with that.  I still think that Pacific Crest Trail hike at the end of August it in sight.  Yea I still need a backpack (part of the test and training). You can bet I have researched everything else and then some (airfare, car etc.)

Physically, I can't recall when I was in any better shape. 3 days a week of Crossfit, followed by 90 minutes of basketball on Sunday and the occasional hikes for the last 4+ months has really made a difference.  I can actually pick up my boat and place it on top of my car, no extra supports or help needed. I don't get winded doing light activities. I don't get nearly as sore as I did when I do anything strenuous. Not to say anything of how this improves my mood more often than not.

I am pushing myself to set some goals for activities.

Finish the Ice Age Trail in Washington County Slinger segment
1-2 Overnight backpacking trips, locally (any Friday/Saturday night)
1-2 Overnight Weekend Kayak trips (St Croix in September and the Lower Wisconsin July)
4 Days of mountain bike trail rides (lunch time during the week for local runs)
4 River trips of 8 miles or more. (Milwaukee, Horicon/Rock River, Cedar Creek)
1 Car camping weekend  - Long/Mirror?Devils Lake?
5 Day PCT trip end of August?

Throw in the the weekend for the Great Taste of the Midwest and a week of back to school in Arizona (for the last time) and my dance card is full.

I am looking for anyone interested in coming along on any of these activities.  I am not adverse to being a lone wolf, but hey I will take the company.  Currently all these overnight activities (minus car camping) are pretty much pushing the envelope for Tracy and her hip. My daughter being a 15 year old girl, can't stand the thought of going 1-2 days without a shower and Joel hasn't sounded too interested either.  I have an extra boat for the overnighters if interested.  Camping on the sand bars of the Wisconsin River, sleeping under  the stars....
