Good day!
Trying to figure out how I reached this point, at 65, where Im busier than ever. I wont complain.
Book-1 is going so well that I dont want to leave it. Meanwhile, Ive chores and errands piling up.
I need more MEs.
Ill settle for just Thursdays hike and work on my list, I guess.

I'm getting ready for Duluth's Grand Traverse 27-mile run on October 5th. I captured the first portion of the race course to share the pain with you!
It's a beautiful, but challenging, portion of the Superior Hiking Trail. Try it! Your ankles will hate you!
I fell down twice.
Good day!
The smoke returned again on the fickle winds, but not as bad. Thankfully, the temp is plummeting and theres a chance of rain.
Im going to dash to the store to avoid traffic, then walk, and tackle more publishing tasks.

PSA (pls boost!)
If you use Gaia, they now partner with Outdoor and you were automatically created an Outdoor profile with your same account login info as you use for Gaia. OUTDOORS DEFAULT IS PUBLIC.
This means your hikes, waypoints, profile, PUBLIC. Even if you had it set as private on Gaia.
There are reports that even after changing it to private, its defaulting back to public. I just fixed mine, will see if it sticks. If not guess who is dumping Gaia. Shame. It used to be a great app and every update they fuck it over more and more.

Again.
In case anyone is wondering how it is I know so many statistics regarding my hikes, or even how I find them, its because I have AllTrails on my phone and desktop.
It provides me trail maps, some of which I make. It also provides distance, altitude, pace, & much more.

September 4, 1983, 41 years ago today: The AT bypassed the cliffs which towered over the pond, but there were several great viewpoints atop rock outcrops along that climb, overlooking an immense, L-shaped valley encircled by the lofty, wooded heights of Mount Wolf, Mount Kinsman, and several of their spur ridges.
Good day!
The smoke has retreated, but when it was here it created the eerie scenes I enjoy writing.
This mild morning, Ill walk, then tackle various tasks.
