Trail Angel

Well, it has been quite a few months since I have been able to get out hiking again. It is always so refreshing to get out on the AT. I have been able to go hiking on a few local trails which is always nice. And I have gotten into geocaching which is fun, although it is pretty suburban around here. I have skinned Firefox to have a picture of Yosemite and frankly, I miss seeing some vistas and views and I miss the air and the dirt. It sure would be nice to get back out there and hike, even if just for a weekend. Hmm, maybe sometime soon …

We have gotten some great responses from our readers regarding the new toolbar. If you want more information, check out the page that has lots of information about it – or better yet – download it yourself! I love surfing through the AT pages and seeing different websites about the trail. Fun stuff!

Have a great holiday everyone!

Hey, just a quick entry to let everyone know that we have published an official release of the toolbar on the Firefox Addon directory:

Feel free to check it out and provide any feedback.

I got to hike this weekend on the Florida Trail section on Eglin Air Force Base. It is a beautiful hike with lots to see and hear. I saw many squirrels, birds and bugs and I saw a VERY big spider, deer and an armadillo. Great hike, in great weather. Beautiful creeks and different than the AT, its FLAT!

Sorry its been so long since we posted anything. We haven’t had much of an opportunity to hike with both our wives being pregnant and family stuff going on – its tough to find the time. I guess we have to be very intentional about getting out there. The good news is that I have a coworker looking to visit the trail very soon – going to hit Springer and take some pics. Should be cool – its always fun having someone new be interested in this magical foot path.

Well, I am pretty disappointed but for our first trip this year, I am only going to be able to do a Day Hike. We will probably try out the new stove and perhaps some hiking poles, boots, etc. But not the new tent, and we won’t get to try too many MREs. Its cool though, because we may discover how out-of-shape we are. And that might be an important wake up call. We are tentatively planning a hike for May, so that will be fun. Will keep you posted.
