Big news today! I am going to thru-hike Appalachian Trail this year!!!
I told my parents yesterday, so I guess it's official.
I'm planning to do a flip flop starting in Harpers Ferry mid-April. I'll hike all the way to Mount Katahdin and then return to Harpers ferry to hike south all the way to Springer mountain.

I spoke with Mighty Blue today about hiking the Appalachian Trail. He's done it twice! What a great guy! I highly recommend his podcast: Mighty Blue on the Appalachian Trail. It's on most of the streaming sites and at: https://www.hikingradionetwork.com/

@npub1c5c…644a @npub1yxz…fkyg a pack liner is a must for me. I used a Nylofume Pack Liner from Garage Grown Gear all last year. Very durable.
I just like the idea of a waterproof pack. It's an extra layer of protection and it won't get heavier from absorbing water.

Still no hiking but my Peroneal tendinitis and Achilles tendonitis is doing much, much better. Rest, ice, stretching, and better shoes is helping so far. Now I'm doing some exercises to strengthen the muscles and tendons (balancing on one leg and resistance bands).
I did so much with bad shoes and bad feet last year. I'm looking forward to what I will be able to do this year!

@npub1c5c…644a I've always went with the drill method. I take the hard drive out and drill a couple holes in it. I suppose that hurts the resale value though. Lol
