    Default Road walk...

    The first 34 miles of the Pinhoti are road walking, with all but the first mile or so and the Trammel Motorway paved. The latter has a highly ironic name, given its status of being dirt and in the Talledega Forest, if surprisingly high in houses. The last 8.4 miles or so before Bull Gap, on AL 148, were particularly busy.

    Maybe hiking together in springtime along the AT somewhere would be a better way to experience long distance hiking than trying to start in the dead of winter, even if it was in the deep south. It's by no means too late to work that out. It ain't gotta be all or nothing and the important thing should be spending time together. That's my .02.
    That's my dog, Echo. He's a fine young dog.

    All too common progression...

    As a teen, I was invincible. Fast driving, sports and generally showing off leads to accidents leads to injuries leads to arthritis, neck, hip, shoulder problems later on...

    As a 20-something, I was fit and broke. College loans come back to haunt you. Menial jobs keep you on your feet, but don't pay much...

    Now, as a 30-something, a "good" desk job keeps you tied to your desk, long days keep you too tired to be active. And so, while your piggy bank gets fatter, so do you...

    I've got to get out of this rat race!

    Or maybe consider the Zone/Paleo diet and a proper fitness program like this chick:

    Oh yeah, that's my weekend workout.

    P.s. Be careful calling a woman like that a "chick". Piss her off and there won't be enough of you left for a DNA test.

    Oops! My bad! Wrong crack...

    Sorry, I gotta go play Tetris for a couple hours while my illegitimate rugrats sleep off their supersized Happy Meals.

    MS,

    When are we going to see a picture of you and faithwalker on trail? You guys have posted plenty of pics of your prepared foods and stocked gear, but we'd like some more 'on trail' photos.

    We have two dispo cameras from our hike thus far (with over 40 pics that came out) developed to CDs, but this computer system won't upload them for some reason. They'll be posted on the Pinhoti journal in about a week (when Faithwalker gets to central FL). We took pics of virtually every campsite, Pete and Betty and their place, some of the more decent views (they're actually better than most of non-Blood GA views north of Bull Gap), and of course our send-off.
