Pay attention you
dirt bag sissies, I'm here to make you a REAL HIKER! |
|
Actually I'm trying to capture some of the things I've learned
about hiking and backpacking in a place to share them. Hope you find something
here you can use. Let me know if you have any suggestions. I will try things
before putting them up. I only want to present information that I have used
and that is helpful.

Sitting home recovering |

In case you haven't heard, I'm off the trail with a bum ankle injury. Monday I made a little over 5 miles, Tuesday I made a little over 4 miles, and at that point I decided to get it looked at. Yesterday the doc said I have tendinitus, a sprain, and most likely stress fractures. I'm waiting on the results of the x-rays.
Chances are good my hike is done for now. I can sit around waiting to heal and get back on and burn up my hike savings, or I can get a job and start saving for a later long section hike. I'd really like to hike on but I also have to face some reality. I made a little over 800 miles and had a good time, I'd rather end on a high note.
Thanks for all the great support and thanks for making HikingHQ and nice quiet place for my wife to administer while I was gone. Updates to the journal are coming for the rest of the hike.
