Without more facts, I couldn't answer your question. How tall are you, for example?

Interesting, but marginally absurd. To achieve a BMI of 20, I would have to weigh less than 150 pounds. That would be Bataan Death March weight for me. The goal is not a number which may or may not...

April 1st. Hopefully not a bad omen
Did the approach year before last.
Had to come off due to back surgery. Hoping this year is the one!

Anyone else starting this Saturday? I'll be starting the approach trail in the morning, probably around 8 AM.

Or maybe, "Rip van Winkle" instead?

Here's mine. I'm breaking them in for an April departure.37209

Moleskine notebook. I don't bring my real pen, a MontBlanc, I just use a cheap gel ink pen. The Moleskine is my daily journal, plus all the various notes and reminders become part of my memories of...

this is just filler.

I'm an old-timer. Waffle stompers for e, specifically a pair of Alico boots, hand made in the Italian Alps.

Me? And that's too short.

The Redwings have nothing on Alico. Still handmade in Italy, Goodyear welt, Vibram montagnabloc soles, these are the ne plus ultra of old-school.32303

Same problem. Pain from hip to ankle, occasional numbness. What worked for me was shoes with the right insole. I had to give up my Sperry Topsiders and go with running or walking shoes with good...

True. Dang, I was hoping for hobo status. "Tramp" doesn't have the same flavor to it as hobo. Less romantic, somehow.

It's not so much that one must have a domicile, but that one always does have one. In America, one is always presumed to have a domicile, regardless of one's address or lack thereof. One always has a...

It wouldn't be yogi-ing, really. I have a decent pension,so I could afford food, shelter, etc. Although a small cabin in the woods has its appeal.

Grown kids, 32 nd 34. Be as blunt as you'd like! It's really, really hard to offend me, and I am looking for information and wisdom. Blunt away, my friend! :)

Suppose one were to sell everything one owns, except a few sets of clothes, etc. Suppose further that one purchased a set of things necessary for living off the land, a tent, a camp stove, a...

Estimated Start Date: April 20-25th, give or take a day
Approach Trail - yes
any additional info that you want the world to know: Getting a late start. I just left my job, and...

All true. I do have friends and family doing RAGBRAI this year and would like to join them. Besides, even with the increased risk of injury and discomfort, it will make for a heck of an adventure...

Stop worrying. She's an adult, or should be. For goodness sake, at 17 I left home to join the Marines.

I'll probably wind up doing GA to Harpers Ferry, then ME to Harpers Ferry. I plan on doing RAGBRAI in late July, so I'll have to break it up.
