    Shoes last

    I have to buy 2-3 pairs of running shoes a year, I put over 700 miles on them. They're ok up to 1,000 but not really.

    Lost in a cave

    I've never been lost in a cave, but I never know where I am! Maps are kinda hard to read and unreliable. Route descriptions are very helpful, but they're not maps.

    Half Tights

    I ran in half tights at Garden of the Gods today, have you heard the yellow polka dot bikini song? In the forest I wanted to stay.

    I read we're at solar maximum right now, and we've gotten better at detecting solar storms. There's also all that chemtrail talk.

    Harrison Spring is the biggest, I have not been. Here's Boiling Spring at Wesley Chapel Gulf, the 3rd biggest spring in Indiana and a true rise of the Lost River.

    Boots are most important

    I don't have any hiking boots anymore! I should probably get a new pair, but Ive been comfortable hiking in trail runners. I cave in trail runners too.

    They're rentals, you rent boots and a hiking pole for The Narrows bottom up hike. I think the 'hiking pole' is the stick at the top, I threw it up there.
