My last blog made note of the fact that I made exceptionally good time (well, at least for ME) during the hike. Since this was my first hike of the year – indeed, my first back-pack in almost 22 months – I doubted it could have been my building up strength over the summer.

Can I get some feedback on using a Duplex on the tent pads in NH/the Presidential range? ...
,,, because I like to plan ahead ... 2020 metaphor for fore-sight [?] I had the pleasure of reading Awol's, Grandma's, and Earl's hiking adventure in '16 (seems so long ago) and got the bug. Then LIFE struck. Now it's almost nine months later and a very good friend brought up the subject: my dream got reignited! There is plenty of time for me to test some essential gear, learn a few things, start drawing social security, retire from work, then go for a walk. ...
