Wine And Dine With A View Enjoy The Weather With Picnics, Walks And Fine Wine!

For many of us in the United States, spring has taken its time reaching us. The cruel fingers of winter have very slowly released their grip. Gentle warm breezes stir the foliage. With grapevines budding, birds singing and plants flowering, it is time to think of spending relaxing, free moments outdoors. Time spent outdoors is soothing for the soul. As Edward Fitzgerald said, "A book of verses underneath the bough, a jug of wine, a loaf of bread-and thou."

Picnics, countryside walks or strenuous hikes can be relaxing, enjoyable and romantic with planning. A picnic can be a very spontaneous event as in a "pick up and go" style. Throw a few items in a bag and pick up a blanket on the way out the door. However, if you will be traveling any distance or over rough terrain, it is better to have a plan. Decide where you are going and discover the regulations regarding picnicking and beverages. Skyline Drive, in Shenandoah National Park, permits alcoholic beverages in many areas unless posted otherwise. Check the weather forecasts and make accommodations if necessary. Choose how to pack supplies, food and wine. There are many choices available whether baskets or picnic/wine carriers.

One item that many wine enthusiasts would enjoy is the wine backpack or the picnic backpack that will hold a wine bottle and wine glasses. Our preference for these types of items is to make sure they are lightweight especially if you are planning to walk far or hike uphill. There are a number of good backpacks and you will find one that meets your needs. If you decide to order online, do check out reviews on the item. It is always good to get someone else's opinion. We prefer a backpack that has room for plates, utensils, cutting board, wine glasses, napkins, wine and food.

Things to consider when purchasing a good picnic/wine carrier include: size, weight, comfort, and cold storage. Backpacks often include place settings for two or four. Check to see if there is room for additional settings. Consider the weight of the picnic/wine carrier if you are hiking for an extended period. Carrying extra weight can tire you out quickly. Check to see if the straps on the picnic/wine carrier fit comfortably. Can you adjust the straps in case you need to wear a jacket? Will the picnic/wine carrier allow you to keep cold foods cold and hot foods hot?

In addition to picnic supplies, there are other items to carry. Think of packing sunscreen and mosquito repellent. Bottled water may be needed while hiking long distances, along rugged terrain, up elevations and down slopes. Take a camera so you can take memories back with you. Last spring and summer, we enjoyed lunch on a rock. In late April the trek to Marys Rock in Shenandoah National Park was difficult but worth it because it had an outstanding view. Only one other hiker was perched between rocks reading a book. We had our lunch on a rock and enjoyed the views. Our lunch was simple with two types of cheese, crackers and a Pinot Grigio. It was the perfect setting to watch birds flying below you, take photographs and feel a constant breeze. The scenery was breathtaking and the solitude was uplifting.

In August, we hiked up Maryland Heights at Harper's Ferry National Park. It was a hot day and water breaks along the way helped us make it to the rocks for a spectacular view of the Potomac River and the town of Harper's Ferry. We enjoyed crackers and cheese with a picnic red wine. There was plenty of room to find a rock and spread out. This area was busier than Marys Rock however there was plenty of room with unobstructed views.

Everyone has different ideas of where to walk, hike and picnic. Choose your favorite spot and enjoy.

Tip:

Our experience has been that picnic/wine backpacks and baskets sell out quickly. If you plan to purchase a basket or carrier for this summer, buy one soon.

Hiking is an outdoor activity which consists of walking in natural environments, often on hiking trails. It is such a popular activity that there are numerous hiking organizations worldwide. The health benefits of different types of hiking have been confirmed in studies. The word hiking is understood in all Englishspeaking countries, but there are differences in usage. In the United States and United Kingdom, hiking refers to crosscountry walking of a longer duration than a simple walk and usually over terrain where hiking boots are required. A day hike refers to a hike that can be completed in a single day, often applied to mountain hikes to a lake or summit, but not requiring an overnight camp, in which case the term backpacking is used. Bushwhacking specifically refers to difficult walking through dense forest, undergrowth, or bushes, where forward progress requires pushing vegetation aside.

54 Sassafras Whistle Adult Hiking and Walking Stick


54 Sassafras Whistle Adult Hiking and Walking Stick


$33.95


A shrill whistle is carved into the top of the Sassafras Whistle Stick.Profile: We are one of the largest suppliers of hiking and walking sticks in the U.S., and we have been in the stick business since 1985. Best selling of all of our sticks is the rustic Hickory hiking stick, famous for its strength and durability. Whistle Creek makes sticks "like grandpa would have made." These are products that you would be proud to display in your home, yet not hesitate to use on the trail every day. We have avoided going to aluminum poles (lightning rods) or other mass-manufactured techniques. We have stayed with time-tested traditional methods that have been around since before Moses. Each Whistle Creek product is hand crafted from wood in the U.S. by skilled craftsmen who value the importance of a sturdy "friend" on the trail. Whether you use your stick for arduous mountain treks, strolls in the forest or just for "wandering 'round the block," you will soon benefit from the comfort and security that a good walking stick can bring to your outings. Hopefully you will decide to collect all of our sticks for you and your family to use for generations. What Size Stick is for Me? Hiking sticks should be 6" to 9" above your elbow to help you get down a hill (you need to reach). Walking sticks and canes are different. First, place your arm to your side with the elbow slightly bent. The top of the handle on the stick should be at the break in your wrist. All of Whistle Creek's sticks can be shortened by removing the rubber tip, sawing off what is not needed and then replacing the tip. Orthopedic patients should consult their physician.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles A walking stick is a device used by many people to facilitate balancing whilst walking.Walking sticks come in many shapes and sizes, and can be sought by collectors. Some kinds of walking stick may be used by people with disabilities as a crutch. The walking stick has also historically been known to be used as a defensive or offensive weapon, and may conceal a knife or sword as in a swordstick.Walking sticks, also under the monikers of trekking poles, pilgrims staffs, hiking poles or hiking sticks, are used by hikers for a wide variety of purposes: to clear spiderwebs, part thick bushes or grass obscuring the trail; as a support when going uphill or a brake when going downhill; as a balance point when crossing streams, swamps or other rough terrain; to feel for obstacles in the path; to test mud and puddles for depth; and as a defence against wild animals. A walking stick can be improvised from nearby felled wood. More ornate sticks are made for avid hikers, and are often adorned with small trinkets or medallions depicting conquered territory.
