i hear you on the time & energy part! Just got back from a long day fishing, hiking and 4x4ing. Had a blast in the jeep but holy crapola! My body feels like someone beat me with a stick! Not built for comfort in '73!
Saw some grouse while 4x4ing and with some of the bushes starting to turn yellow ( Yes already!) it really had my heart thumping for grouse season to start.
