I'm glad thread drift is okay here cause I can never can find the appropriate thread. Anyway, did a 9 mile hike over Dugger Mt. last night to see if the knee is going to allow me to do a 500 mile hike next month, the knee did better than expected but man has the rest of me gone down hill in 5 weeks of doing nothing, sure would hate to have to strap on a pack and hike this morning. It was extremely hot, was planning to camp and get some experience using a hammock and tarp before real life hiking but I was too sweaty and nasty, thought about camping on the back side of Coleman Campground and sneaking in to take a swim or shower but ended up going home about 1:30.
I may grow old but I'll never grow up.
