GCL begins this weekend

Although there is still quite a bit to do around the house I'm still planning on starting the GCL this Saturday. Worst case scenario is that I start Sunday. I'm packing the backpack tonight after happy hour. At least that will be done.

Great Colorado Loop

Time to mention my next big adventure. I haven't bothered to keep this updated with Restless Adventurer going strong. Now's the time to start talking up what I'm calling the Great Colorado Loop.

The link takes you to Trail Journals where I have a good description and will be keeping some sort of journal. My main journal will of course remain at RestlessAdventurer.net but I've got my prep entries on Trail Journals and I will at least have some log some entries there while during town stops for resupply.

I'm back from my 75 day Mountain to Sea Trail thruhike. I took 10 days off for a total of 65 days to travel about 987 miles total. That number includes ferry miles and Appalachian Trail hiking to Davenport Gap. I averaged over 15 miles per hiking day. That number drops by 2 miles per day if I include my days off in the calculation.

It was a trip that I'm glad I did although it wouldn't be for all long distance hikers. I'm finishing my online journal now. It should be done by the time you are reading this. Check it out.
