I walked 4 miles today just to buy some coffee creamer. That's how I roll now!
Pretty soon I'll probably start doing walks around the city with a full pack, because training can't just happen on the mountain.
The John Muir Trail is less than 6 months away...
Now it's getting real!
If approved, I'll head out on the JMT between August 31 and September 6!
(For those who don't know, there are a limited number of wilderness permits for any given day, in an effort to control foot traffic, reduce damage to trails, and reduce the impact to wildlife and wilderness. This also helps make potential search-and-rescue situations more manageable)
@killyourfm Argh, tough luck
