Quote from Astro: “Quote from LIhikers: “just thought I'd bring up an old thread, get it? I turned 71 this past June. I guess that makes me older than most but younger than some. ” I am just a decade behind you, but closing the gap in a couple of months. ” Closing the gap would not bode well for LIHikers.

Quote from Mountain-Mike: “I was supposed to head north tomorrow to go with plan B: Hoking the Long Trail instead of Idaho Centenial Trail.

No matter what, it's going to be awful muddy.

One step Closer
PostQuote from Astro: “Quote from Traffic Jam: “Interesting. The benefit of this designation seems a bit vague to me. It seems the biggest benefit is that being overseen by the USFS “might make it easier” to eliminate 15 mi of road walk/private land use. My inclination is to want the BMT to fly under the radar for as long as possible ” While I admit there is a tipping point, I wish my two local trails the Ouachita Trail and the Ozark Highland Trail got more traffic. Once May comes until October I am…

Quote from Wintergreen: “Thanks for the advice, Max Patch. Would you say having to time your hike to the post office hours is a consideration also?

I believe I can do an overall 12 mile average, slower starting miles, picking up distance as I go along. That is 89 days to Harpers Ferry without zeros. We shall see how it comes together. More zeros due to weather with an early …

Only a couple of bucks on Amazon. amazon.com/dp/B09V3DY3X5?psc=1…o2ov_dt_b_product_details The repair could not have been simpler, just peel and stick. Looks great again right nw.
