I’ve been out playing in the woods for the last week or so. What’s more “primal play” than this? I did a lot more rock climbing than usual, and I enjoyed every minute of that. Instead of going to Vermont and doing new mileage up there, I decided to clean up some [...] I’m back from the woods. I’ve barely looked at my pictures as I had work waiting for me at home. Here’s a quick log of what I did. 5/5/2010 – Got to the parking lot at TN91 at 5:30pm and hiked to Iron Mountain Shelter (4.1 miles) In another post, a commenter said they were having a hard time figuring out what people following Paleo or Primal diet were actually eating on a day to day basis. They also expressed interest in what I was going to eat while backpacking, and I will get to that in a moment. Since I see [...] I’m currently planning a backpacking trip for early May. I’m repeating a section of the Appalachian Trail that I really liked. Once piece of that is described by the guide book as follows: This section traverses the high balds of Hump Mountain, Yellow Mountain, and the eastern portion of Roan Mountain. The Trail passes over five [...] 28-April-2009 Even with the shortcuts, this was a lot of miles. I did have a terrific day with blue skies and a nice breeze. High UV was the only real problem. The very high elevations [...] 25-April-2009 Tino flew me to Mountain Empire Airport (very friendly place!) since it’s almost on the AT. He took me down to the trail in a borrowed car with “official business” plates, and it immediately started pouring down rain. Since I needed some lip stuff anyway, I went into the Exxon [...] Last week, I went to the southwestern corner? end? of Virginia and re-hiked some of the Appalachian Trail down there. I did it “officially” five years ago, but it’s one of the loveliest places in Virginia, and the repeat performance allowed me to take other, non-AT trails. The weather was unbelievable, if a [...] The day dawned bright and beautiful, and since I’d stayed up late enjoying all that hiker companionship, I got started quite late. I slept well, but I had a lazy morning. In this short 4.3 miles I was really grateful for my map. There were many junctions with woods roads and trails and the [...] The walk out of Williamstown was long and long. It really wasn’t longer than the previous day, but since none of it counts and it’s first thing in the morning, it *seems* longer. The trail north was actually straight up someone’s driveway. They had blazes *on* their driveway. I’ve never seen [...] I hiked from Mark Noepel up and over Greylock and down into Williamstown. The distance to the road was 9.6 miles and I think I walked about 2 miles into town and then out again in the morning. I walked in to town as far as the Howard Johnson’s. There was a [...] |
