Took a walk today
PostQuote from hikerboy: “Yesterday I hiked in a park I'd never heard of. I'd seen it mentioned in a FB group so I decided to check it out, and I'm glad I did. It's called Trail View State Park. Turns out it's got some fun trails, not too challenging, and a lot of possible loop variations. It does share some of the trails with mountain bikes, but yesterday I was mostly alone, no hikers and one mountain biker. I'll go back again. I couldn't believe I'd never heard of it before. appalachiantrailcafe.n…

Quote from StalkingTortoise: “Quote from IMScotty: “Triple Crowner dies in the White Mountains... boston.com/news/local-news/202…ns/?p1=recirc_mostpopular ” Just sad.

PostQuote from max.patch: “Since the ATC is attempting to change the definition of a thru hike to "hike the trail in 12 months and it doesn't matter how you do it" and there's a "hostel" at every road crossing, I'm looking forward to reaching age 84 and cheesing my way up and down the trail one more time ” Yes, might as well go for the age record.

BT, The Penobscot consider Katahdin to be a sacred place, the home of the God Pamola. Pamola was an angry God, and the summit was considered taboo for mortals. Henry David Thoreau wrote a book about his exploration of Katahdin and the Maine Woods called 'The Maine Woods.' It was both a physical and spiritual journey for Thoreau.It is worth a read for its depiction of nature as a spiritual salve. Completing 2000 miles to get to Katahdin will certainly amplify the spiritual and transformative powe…

PostQuote from Astro: “Quote from IMScotty: “Quote from max.patch: “I gotta ask the obvious question...why are they sometimes dressed and sometimes not? ” Looks like they have grown more modest with time. ” Being red, thought it might be some kind of Christmas decorations. ” OK, now you have me researching this, and I have learned some things I did not pick up on when I was at the park. The Ki'i (Tiki) represent Gods, but also seem to play a role in family heritage and genealogy. The NPS allows prac…

PostPu'ukoholā Heiau National Historic Site: Does not look like much, but this sacred site is very important to the Hawaiians. This is the last Hawaiian temple built by King Kamehameha and helped him fulfill the prophecy that he would unify the Hawaiian Islands. The NPS has an excellent interpretive movie that tells the story. appalachiantrailcafe.net/index.php/Attachment/16387/ appalachiantrailcafe.net/index.php/Attachment/16388/

PostPuʻuhonua o Hōnaunau National Historical Park: This was a place of refuge for Hawaiians sentenced to death for breaking one of the many 'Kapo' laws. Of course to live, you had to reach this place. Today it is still considered a sacred place by the Hawaiians and is a very nice park to visit. appalachiantrailcafe.net/index.php/Attachment/16383/

Winter Layers
PostYou must run cold TJ, that sounds like it should have been comfortable to me. I have a LS Merino shirt I wear as a base in the winter. It really helps. Most importantly, with wicking away any moisture from my body.
