Going on a stroll …

I may have mentioned this once or twice, since I am prone to self promotion … it makes me feel like I am popular having a whole slew of blogs, even if it might be the same five people reading all of them … but I am going on an adventure in a few weeks. Some think I am crazy (including my mom, but she IS a mom). Others think I am cool. Others are no doubt waiting for the entertainment value as I pretend to be able to function outside of the cave.

"Where

For those who have missed my constant and blatant attempts to parade myself before you, in a couple of weeks, I will be beginning my attempt to hike the Appalachian Trail. The WHOLE Appalachian Trail. That is roughly 2200 miles, 35450.6 km, 3,872,000 yards, 11,616,000 inches … if you are not quite getting my meaning it is slightly larger than a stroll around the block. Depending on my will power, companion support, the weather, and the frequency of pizza and Chinese takeout airdrops, this could take as much as six months to complete.

I intend to blog about the adventure, but because I can’t fit a 2200 mile extension cord in my pack (not to mention my computer), I will mostly be blogging on the hike blog (Tail of a Trail). Granted actually EXPLORING the world has a higher chance of humorous anecdotes then camping out in my cave, so I may occasionally still share here, but for the most part it will be on that blog. For those who occasionally get a chuckle from my tails (or better yet tales), or maybe just want the details of me tumbling down a hillside yet miraculously surviving, I am sharing the blog here. Or you can follow it directly. If not, I hope to entertain you again next fall (the season, not off a mountainside).
