Only a couple days away now!!
LilredTX- the lone star trail is well marked. I went in it earlier in the year. However, only a small section. I seemed appropriate though because it gives you a long distance practice trail. I wish...
The trail was closed. So I couldn't walk it. Instead I decide to walk from one town to the next. I put in about 90 miles on the road. And boy, Texas was hot! haha. It was a good trip over all. ...
I hope that I work out all of my gear kinks! Since I have no hills, I have been going to the YMCA in order to get some stairs in! haha. As for the black flies.. I have a bug net and a fifth of...
I do feel lucky to have this time! I usually make a plan for working out and getting ready better.. however.. things always come up. In the end I am sure I will be getting prepared on the trail as...
So.. I went to the supermarket and bought 8 days worth of food. I packed it all up and am getting ready to hike the Lone Star Hiking Trail. I figure this will be a good test run for my SOBO June 2nd....

I will be using the Osprey Hornet 46 for my hike. I got my base weight without food and water to under 15 pounds. I utilized the help of a postal scale though!! haha. The size of your pack really...
Valid points. There are many obstacles already. haha. I hope the best for those that face these challenges. I will still be hiking up with my pack though.
I am as excited as most of you. Starting June 2nd. It seems now that I have less than two months to wait I am counting the days (52)! haha
I don't think I can use the day pack. Even though it is at the start, I feel like hiking my pack up Katahdin is required. If I was doing a Northbound hike I would hike my pack up and to the finish....
My buddy and I are going to start June 2nd. Been looking forward to this for years.
