[mapsmarker marker=”39″] Before I actually set foot on the trail, I envisioned a certain level of daily progress, which would improve quickly as I continued along the trail. I was quickly disabused of such silly ideas. I forgot to take a few things into account: reality; the fact that these are mountains; the fact that […]
I have been doing a bit of digital prep today. Basically, I have been letting the hordes of fans that I have on my several thousand other blogs (you can stop laughing now) know that once I am on the trail, my blog presence will be mostly here. If anyone is bored, and maybe actually […]
