[mapsmarker marker=”31″] This journey has always qualified as exploring the unknown. Even when I was under the delusion that I would leisurely walk 2200 miles with nary a sweat, I truly did not know what to expect. But I have to admit, ending up in Ohio never even entered the realm of far-fetched possibility. It […]
[mapsmarker marker=”45″] Day: 8-10 Weather: sunny and hot, threatening thunder showers, sunny and hot Trail miles:: 52.9 Refreshed, resupplied, repacked, and recharged from our hostel stay, we had a good day’s hike. Pleasant weather, beautiful scenery, brought us most of the way to our next campsite. The last bit of the trail was obviously put […]
Day 2-5Weather: rainy; cold, rainy, and windy; rainy into sunny; hot sunnyDistance travelled: 21.1 miles After Jeff’s setback, I hooked up with two new hikers: Rich (Grey Wolf) who is my age, and Ken who is 71 (no trail name yet). We all realized that our eyes were bigger than our muscles, and we are […]
There are quite a few descriptions that people might use if asked to describe me, but there are a few that will never make that list, even by accident. For instance I doubt anyone would even try to link me and the word “organized”. And I definitely fall short on such things as “detail oriented” […]

Because I have not really had all my supplies in one place at one time yet, I have not quite figured out exactly HOW I will be packing my pack. I got the food I ordered today, which is about a month’s worth if I actually listen to their portion sizes … probably half of […]
Are we there yet? Are we there yet? I feel like a little kid counting the seconds until a Disney Vacation (before I realized that Disney is actually an incarnation of evil that is). I get the feeling Maytag feels the same way. He has been doing a good job of testing out his equipment […]
People have been banging on my door. They have been hanging outside with cameras flashing every time someone appears at the window. The phone is ringing off the hook. Everyone wants an update on my plans. My public WANTS to know! And then I woke up. But just in case one or two people ARE […]
I have been pretty busy the last several days. Ironically, the busier I am, the less I feel I accomplish. But that is nothing new. It all has to do with relativity and the ultimate ethereality of super science. But I can proudly say, that whatever has kept me busy has been with one primary […]
