    We are way too old to be real hikers, but plenty old enough to be a cyber hikers. We have to get those posts in quick before our fingers lock up with arthritis.

    How many miles until I'm a real hiker? More miles than I have: I'm just a clueless weekender.
    I always know where I am. I'm right here.

    Almost. There is a sand dune at Carolina Beach that is almost 75 feet in elevation.
