Preparing for a thirty three hundred mile walk involves quite a bit of time out on the trail, but that's not the only consideration. Today, I took some time in the local library to access some of the experience of the people who have gone before me in this same sort of endeavor.
I really like to read, but compared to some I'm a bit of a piker. Jim Stavridis is an avid reader, and he's suggested that there are thirty five hundred years of history so there really is no excuse to make the same mistakes as folks who have come before us. That dovetails nicely with my "philosophy" of always trying to make new mistakes. To that end, in preparation for the pilgrimage I find myself in the nearest branch of the county library.

This has been a busy travel month for me, and tomorrow, I believe I'm going to find myself looking at a vista similar to this one.

In addition to providing new and exciting places to get out on the trail for training, travel provides some dedicated time to read, and I'll be exploring the Appalachian Trail with some of the great thru-hikers on this next trip.
The path to the pilgrimage has been an interesting trek so far, and I'm looking forward to seeing what's revealed around the next bend in the trail.
