Union, MO – Motel 8 I didn’t sleep well last night because of mosquitoes in my tent that bit me all night. I did laundry and ate a box of Frosted Flakes and milk while our laundry went through the cycle. Most everyone in the Laundromat was interested with our trip, but I became tired […]
Cycling the Katy Trail Near Jefferson City, MO – Bike Across America Day 52

April 27th….. A good day to hike!

Hiking into the Smokies on the AT
today was a long 12 miles uphill day. But all in all I’m doing pretty good. While in the smokies I am unable to camp anywhere I want and must stay at the shelter areas. This to me makes no sense, but hey that’s the parks service for ya. It was a humid day. The […]
Why would someone carry 65lbs of gear down the Appalachian trail?
As I prepared or my journey on the trail I was researching and researching. I like most was looking up all the videos, tips, images and stories that I could to get a feel for what trail life is like. I found that most of what I was seeing were people’s personal stories and […]
