Completed the Mtn Pack of virtual hikes: Everest, Fuji, and Kilamanjaro

[dockam]

Just hiking them, not much of a runner after 7 1/2 years on ADT with anemia/Low Hgb!

So grateful to be able to get outdoors and listen to Audible (On now - Conversations with Dick Winters of Easy Company from D-Day) and put miles in.

You pair up the Conqueror App to your Hiking app, in my case "Map my Run"

theconqueror.events/all-cha...

play.google.com/store/apps/...

It will import the hike you did and place you on the course that you signed up for.

Pretty cool. Most have a Google Street View too.

Fight on, Hike On, Rock on

sounds pretty kewl. I never heard of it before you mentioned it. We have a lot of runners and cycling guys on the group that might like it as an alternative outdoor exercise. Change of pace type thing. The medals remind me of Volksmarch medals that each little town and village in Germany gives out for completing their local hikes or small family mountain climbs / hikes.

[dockam in reply to Kaliber]

Oh, those sound kewl! Yea, I kinda wanted to put the app out here, so maybe another can take up a Conqueror Challenge too 😊

They've done a wonderful job with the medal designs and as I stated above, their app grabs ur miles and places you on that course. Very Kewl

Hike on

I’ll bet after all that yayahahahaya. I was walking around in Tehachapi and the Great Wall a few minutes later, this to see what you were looking at. I have an app on my quest VR googles that allows me to walk around / look around just about everywhere on planet earth.

Similar to what you are doing, nowadays people can kinda replicate those trips you simulated in their house with an automated treadmill or advanced stationary bike while wearing a pair of Virtual Reality googles. It the upscale bikes and treadmills that already have a large video screen and programs built in, but kicks it up a notch with virtual reality. VR Google programs are established pain relievers while using them ….. first pioneered in pediatrics but now used for adults too. My wife used to promote the pediatric versions at CME and conventions for UCSF , S.F. … works pretty great, I use VR for mild - moderate pain breaks frequently.

[dockam in reply to Kaliber]

Oh that sounds awesome, about the VR being used for pain relief. I have never heard of it being used that way, but that sounds logical, a 3D distraction from the chronic pain is Heaven sent. I'm so glad that it works for you Brother💙

Did a 3.1 for my Great Wall and was crazy windy, and that's why there are windmills out on the hills. Many of my pts work for different wind companies.

Hike in Downtown Tehachapi

[Kaliber in reply to dockam]

out near where those windmills are installed , I’ve spent dozens of hours …using a truckload of scientific instruments , including thermal imaging, geomagnetic detectorsrs and wide band rf analyzers … looking for the fabled “ Tehachapi covert underground complex “. ( Google it ) up at the end of Sand Canyon Road. It’s powered by the terminus of the small Kern river hydro plant.

Tehachapi is interesting because it’s located at the end on the mountain range where desert , east side , and desert / coastal western side weather patterns converge. This causes Tehachapi to have bizarre weather and temperature changes different than almost all neighboring cities and counties. It’s an interesting place , for many reasons. Yayahahahaya

[dockam in reply to Kaliber]

Yes, I've heard of it, and I think that is was brought up here - maybe it was you Kaliber :-).

Yes, crazy weather up here, sometimes we get snow days, as some patients live at 7000ft and roads aren't plowed, or Hygienist can't get in fwy cuz of accidents.

I've been stuck on the fwy numerous times, when I used to live down South.

I really dig this lil town, gonna just retire up here when the PCa or the side effects start impacting my ability to work.

Fight On

Can't wait to earn my first medal. Thanks for the update

[dockam in reply to Carlosbach]

Sweet and you're welcome! Have you chosen one? The Mtn pack trio is at a discount

Randy

[Carlosbach]

haven’t chosen one yet

I’m undecided on the walk tracker. My rural location means that several of my regular trails are cell reception dead spots.

[dockam in reply to Carlosbach]

Hi, I believe that the walk apps use GPS and not cell reception
