Big Bend 2010

I'm in preparation now for the WalkingMan Tour 2010. This is my 21st birthday for sobriety and I'm training for the Outer Mountain Loop again. I've picked up a disciple who wants to explore solitude and so we will be entering the wilderness together, but silently. We'll see how this works.

I've lost thirty pounds in preparation and will lose twenty more by December. The discipline is good and I feel better.

I'm anticipating a practice hike either to Arkansas and the Eagle Rock Loop, or another trip to the Winding Stair Mountains and Horsethief Springs-Billy Creek trails.

More later

Jerry.....did you hike the Eagle Rock Loop? I did it 3 years ago at Labor Day and found it very nice (lots of water!!!) and also very challenging. I'm curious about your experience.

Hello Ray:

I'm scheduled to hike on October 12-I'm hoping I can do it in two days, but can take a third if needed. I'll post a report after. I'm glad I won't have to pack all the water!
