Staging of religion on rock paintings that are thousands of years old in southern Egypt desert

7. It did, indeed...

Used to be called the Yellowstone of the east. There are many tales of people going there and not coming back. I spent much of my childhood on the coast of northern Casco Bay and the south shore of West Barnstable in Massachusetts. Then I did most of my running around in sneakers out on the rocks along the shore!

My expedition range is greatly reduced as well, late 60s, short hikes of five to six miles, less with a pack. Depends on the destination, most of the terrain of choice is not all that rugged for out here. The bears are my biggest concern, really. I spent some time, back before retiring, as an official wildlife safety tech and me getting beat up by a bear would be a big deal so I make sure I take all the precautions. Other than that, we look at it more with regard to how much time was spent hiking rather than how far. And usually there is an objective reward involved like a pack full of mushrooms, cool rocks or a picture.
