lisafriedmancom: Mountain Biking, Killington, Vermont
- 09/05/08 03:27 AM
These photos are from my mountain biking excursion last Sunday at Killington. I took the gondola up to the top of the mountain a few times and rode my bike down. Sounds easy, you might say? NOT! Mountain biking down a 4,200 foot peak can be quite intense as you ride over very bumpy, very rocky areas. Some of the trails are so narrow that they are practically single track (not much wider than your tires). Some trails have steep drops off of a cliff face and some are so steep that you have to ride your brakes for hundreds of feet. I actually … (5 comments)
lisafriedmancom: Kent Pond, Killington, Vermont Hike
- 09/05/08 03:16 AM
Here are some photos that I took while hiking last Saturday at Kent Pond in Killington, Vermont. I love walking in the woods and being surrounded by the beauty of nature. There are several different hiking trails in the area - some are a flat easy jaunt while others will have you a huffin' and a puffin' going up some steep slopes. If you are like me, you will wander off trail and get lost. Guess I sort of like blazing my own trails and seeing what is off the beaten path. Unfortunately for me, that meant coming down through an … (2 comments)
lisafriedmancom: Kayaking on the Delaware River
- 08/22/08 04:00 PM
Last weekend was such a beautiful weekend that I took an afternoon off to go kayaking on the Delaware River. At River Country in Point Pleasant, PA you can rent a kayak, canoe, raft or tube. They will drive you 6 miles up river and you can paddle your way back.
If you feel like stopping for lunch, you can swim, float or paddle to The Hot Dog Man where you can order from the floating restaurant and eat at the picnic tables which are located at the edge of the river (in the water!). The atmosphere is festive … (7 comments)
lisafriedmancom: Back in the Saddle Again!
- 08/04/08 03:02 AM
After an over two year hiatus from cycling due to an injury, about a month ago I got back into riding and boy does it feel great to be Back in the Saddle Again! On Saturday, I completed a century bike ride. For those of you who aren't too familiar with cycling, a century is 100 miles in a day. A double century is 200 miles in a day, etc. To give you some perspective, a century is slightly longer than the trip from New York City to Philadelphia and many people think that is a long ride in a car! The … (9 comments)
lisafriedmancom: A Tribute to Ben (My Best Buddy)
- 07/20/08 05:19 PM
This is a story about my beloved Ben who passed away a few weeks ago at age 16. It has taken me a while, but I have finally been able to write this. Ben touched so many lives - everyone who met him loved him as evidenced by the 12 condolence cards I received which shows how very well loved he truly was. Ben was my once in a lifetime - my doggie soul mate.
It all started in February 1993 when I took a real estate customer out and I showed her a house with a nice dog in the yard. She … (12 comments)
