Looking for Fellow Out-of-Shape/Slow/Aspiring Hikers

Post image
73 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

A couple of months ago I made a post looking for slow hikers to make friends and head out together to slowly make our way up the trails together. The existing meetup hiking groups were waaayyy too advanced for me. There was interest, a group of us met, and we even created our own meetup group! (Check out Las Cruces Short Hikes on Meetup https://www.meetup.com/las-cruces-short-hikes)

Now here’s the issue, the meetup group is public and off-Reddit people joined and they are the ones that actually participate. Ngl, they are some pretty fit people and I’m still finding myself all alone left behind feeling like I’m an inconvenience because I’m slow and need breaks to catch my breath.

So do you any of you fellow slow Redditors wanna to go slow hiking together? I’m not super adventurous, I like the same 4-5 trails on repeat. I do promise you’ll never get left behind, heck you might have to wait for me lol.

About me: 42F, out-of-shape and fat (but not hiking with weight loss being the goal, I just legit like hiking). Major homebody that is wfh to top it off. Picture is from this mornings hike I ended up doing solo.

Quick question, what's up with the tailgating?

43 Upvotes

I've never been tailgated anywhere else in this country like I do here. I could be going 75 in a 65, in the right lane at 5:30 in the morning with a completely clear passing lane right next to me, and 3-4 jackasses still gotta be right on my bumper over the course of a 15 minute drive. I see y'all doing it to each other too, someone will blow past me going 90+ with some other idiot basically stapled to his rear end.

Is there really a significant portion of you that just want to die or something? To be clear, I'm not advocating murder over tailgating, but all it takes is minor road hazard and the guy you're tailgating hits his brakes a little too hard, and the families of those in your car and those in front of you are potentially devastated forever.

"But they're going slow :("

Is that potentially worth your life? The lives of your neighbors? Just go around or leave five minutes earlier so you're not so pressed for time.

Now, I don't brake check, that's how you get hit, but here's some food for thought: anyone can rip a wiper fluid system from a junked car at the pick a part for 20 bucks, wire it to their vehicle with the sprayer pointed out the keyhole in the trunk and fill the reservoir with fart spray.

Then all they gotta do hold a button down, and your a/c intake is gonna suck all that stink into it and your lifted truck you've never taken off road, let alone towed anything with, is gonna stink like shit until you replace the whole system for a helluva lot more than the 50 bucks or so this hypothetical person spent modifying their shitbox.

Again, just some food for thought.

Vet care in Las Cruces

3 Upvotes

Hi! Freshly new to town for the most part and the time has come that I need to find a vet. My cat has had some drastic habit changes in the last few days. Anyways, is there an affordable vet in town that has decent availability? I know that’s a lot to ask for (especially here in LC). But any advice would be appreciated!

Also, given his symptoms I’m mildly concerned with stomatitis, so if anyone has some input on maybe the cost for full teeth extraction here in town I’d be open to hearing that!

Thanks!

Anyone up for some board games?

I'll bring some board games over to grounded today if anyone ones to come by. If anyone ones to play, don't be shy. I'll bring over splendor, concordia, and catan. I plan to be there starting 5pm and to closing time. I'll set the game boxes on the table, so you can just walk up. feel free to bring another board game if you prefer. If I look busy, I am not (I just like to read).

How rough is the neighborhood behind Young’s Park?

20 Upvotes

I’m considering moving to the area on Colorado Ave. when I drove around, the neighborhood looked like it was on the decline in general. We saw several homeless people wandering and one person very obviously on drugs. Given the recent shooting, it seems like a bad area but I’d like opinions from others. Thanks

Custom print shirts / mugs in town?

5 Upvotes

Hello!

I was curious if anyone knew of a place in Las Cruces that did custom prints on items (tshirts, mugs, etc)?

Looking for a place that could do one or two items in a relatively quick turn around.

I know there’s a place in the mall that does shirts (but not sure if they only do shirts)

Thanks in advance!

ETA - I have high resolution images of the custom logo I want printed

‼️ STOLEN VEHICLE ‼️ My friends car was stolen last night in the Boutz/Espina Area. Last seen off POPLAR AVE NAVY BLUE HYUNDAI SANTA FE License plate #RTW938 Please notify me by comment or private message if you have seen it! It has front left bumper damage with a damaged headlight, pink child booster seat inside, had confetti cannons in the trunk, and has notable “Free Mom Hugs” rainbow sticker on the back hatch door. At this moment we’re trying to find photos of the stickers in the back to be able to spot it better. Thank you guys for any help.
