I have a wire haired griffon mix that i have taken on multiday hikes and constantly take on runs when i know there is plenty of water around.

She carries a pack and I have taken her on mountain trips, trips during the snow and trips during high heat times and have never had problems no matter what the terrain.



Griffons are a very versatile and playful breed and my dog will outrun or hike me every time i take her with me. They are usually bred as a hunting dog but with a little exercise are great dogs indoors or out. Their bloodline is very pure so they are known to be disease and ailment free and live for a very long time.

They are a little stubborn and according to wikipedia "A standing joke among Griffon owners is that a nice thing about a Griff is that you get to have a puppy for a long time - and a bad thing about a Griff is that you get to have a puppy for a long time." which i find to be very true.

here's mine while doing the Chicot loop with ease (20 miles) Not sure what other breed she is (probably a lab because she is a little bigger than average griffons) but her personality is more griffon than anything else.

I have brooks Cascadias and absolutely love them. I also wear mine when backpacking and hiking. They dry quickly, offer good stability without being too clunky and are comfortable to wear all day. They have the brooks DNA midsole in them which reacts differently to each surface and foot-strike so transitioning from trails to road, rocks, grass and mud are all done with ease.

I love brooks shoes for road and trail shoes so i recommend anything by them. Apparently their new trail shoe, Pure Grits are pretty awesome for those looking for a minimalist trail shoe.

Barneys is like 20 a day but only goes up to 50 yards. I always go out to a range near cecilia(i think),i know its next to the levee, that my friend belongs to. Up to 300 yards on the rifle, with a pistol range and skeet thrower.

Can't remember the name, but ill try and find out. Besides that i know the sheriffs have a range at the end of alexander passed acadiana park. I used to be a member of Hub city but that closed a few years back.

I sense a lot of current cougars in this thread. If only the recruiting boards approval would get him an offer.

Kid looks good but as of now he's lower tier SEC at best. Got a season left to prove otherwise, but with the horrible playcalling at STM recently i don't see much hope for him to light it up in any signifigant (playoff) games that would give him that edge over other qbs of the same mold.

Good luck cougars, hope the coaches can finally figure out how to call a playoff game for yall instead of "disguising tendencies" late into the 4th quarter.

i agree that all those listed are great but to be fair its safe to say that those are not the best they have to offer.

A few that ive seen are Fawlty towers, Im Alan Partidge, Spaced, Blackadder, Extras(i consider it British because of Gervais and Merchant),Little Britain, Monty Python,Whose line is it anyway,Doc Martin,and kingdom. Some better than others but each definitely have their moments.

While they may not be everyone's type of comedy these are all worth watching. I'm not saying british comedy is better but considering most of these appeared between two networks; it is a pretty good track record. You can't discount what British comedy has done to influence TV today and i have only watched and/or mentioned a small portion of them.

Just started watching this on netflix and i love it so far.

I feel with british television they put more emphasis on talent as opposed to good looks.
Hbo and AMC follow this formula with great success.
Most british actors have some formal training where most american networks will put pretty faces who can't act for shite.

Extras, the office(UK), spaced, little britain as well as the wire, sopranos, breaking bad.. are great examples of shows with "ugly" leading characters. They also know when to end a show so that it doesn't drag on until mediocrity. Instead we cancel quality shows like arrested development and squeeze every last drop out of shows like the office.

You don't see this too often with network television lately.

Yea, if its something like buffalo river or big bend i will rent canoes and try to hike a little bit to see things off the river.

Id rather do a true backpacking trip because i like the challenge of a long hike and deciding on what to pack. I also want a reason to use my new Marmot Nusku tent. Being able to load up a canoe kind of takes the challenge out of it, though i still plan on doing both one day; id prefer something a little more adventurous.

Ive done some backpacking in great smoky national as well as plenty in Maryland,virginia and Penn. so i think id rather go west if i were going that far. I love the Appalachians but if you've seen one part it seems you've seen them all.

Considering about 90% of the starters on any college team have at least one tattoo i wouldn't think it means too much.

I'm talking about a WR that couldn't EASILY be replaced. Welker/amendola/woodhead are all sort of the same guy.

Love when i hear stuff like that. Danny Wood-head is nothing like the first two. Its clear you don't understand football if you think they are the same type of player. Yes, they are all white.. I'm glad you can make that connection.

Not worth even going there.. but to place it next to wars, tsunamis and famine?

You sir, need to consider a new source for your news.. I could list about 50 things our country faces that would be more of a problem... some radical conservative movement is not one of them.
