    What state high points have you hiked and their elevation?

    Hoosier Hill is Indiana's high point, elevation is 1,257. It is a short .4 mile out and back. It's on private property but open to the public. Did it back in 2019. Some times you do it for the fame:) Sure was nothing to see except a farmer working his field.

    Would you hike the Appalachian Trail?

    It is going to be interesting the end of next week heading to Georgia. Really getting mixed answers on what I am going to find. Worse case I am going to shift my hiking to far west Georgia or into Alabama.

    What do you carry in your backpack?

    I use Zpac. Have had it for about 5 years. Very ultralight and durable. It is the only thing I probably have that I splurged on. No regrets. Now this is for backpacking not day hikes. For day hikes I use a hydration pack I bought years ago. I hated the bladder and the maintenance so I...

    What was the last trail you hiked?

    Landhall park, Blue Springs Missouri, has over 20 miles of hike/bike trails interlaced allowing for a lot of differing route combinations. I did 4 miles today.

    What kind of hiker are you?

    I was out canoeing many years ago with the boy scouts and after we setup camp the first night, I then had to paddle up stream to pickup a boy arriving late. That solo paddle upstream after dark to pick up the boy has been one of my treasured experiences. (not my pic, one free from internet)

    Day Hiking Clifty Creek CA

    I think this is the best arch in Missouri. Though the natural tunnel at Bennett Springs SP, though not an arch is great. The natural tunnel is the length of a football field and big enough to drive a car through. Have you done it?

    What kind of hiker are you?

    Yes hiking after dark is a new experience. Quiet peaceful. It is amazing how quick you eyes get accustomed to low light after you turn off your headlamp. In fact hiking under a full moon is almost like day hiking.
