    Best Thing You Ate vs. Worst Thing You Ate?

    Worst thing, gag a maggot time! Someone said for no cook put your instant oatmeal packet in water and let it soak for an hour then stop and eat it. It was so bad I buried so some poor animal wouldn’t die eating it😢

    Would you hike the Appalachian Trail?

    I have touched the Appalachian trail a few times for a few miles here and there. With my busy lifestyle with family, friends and church I don't ever see taking months off to hike it. It has always interested me but just not practical. I am content to do special scenic areas across the...

    Hiking Pain

    I suppose first good genes. Most important is just keep moving. Its a bad year if I hike less than 800 miles a year. By best was about 1,400. I just did an adventure park high rope course this last summer with the boys and other leaders in their 30's. I sailed through it and half the...
