Long overdue photo dum from my Appalachian Trail attempt. I was going quite fast for a while, but overuse injuries have slowed me down. But I’ve made it from GA to the start of NH. 450 miles to go!

I’m on the Appalachian Trail starting my 8,000-mile Calendar Year Triple Crown attempt!

It has been frigid at times but is a blast!

Don’t know if I’ll succeed, but I’m giving it all I’ve got!

This Buckeye never expected to walk on a frozen creek in the Chihuahua Desert.

Part of an observatory complex. We observed the vista and our favorite star.

Here’s all my gear for the 8,000-mile hiking attempt. I’ll soon go from a rental home to just this. Crazy.

One of the last training hikes before the 8,000-mile attempt. Alamogordo, NM is on the valley floor.

Frozen waterfall was NOT on our NM bingo card. You surprise and wow us, Bridal Veil Falls.

She hates my shirt but loves the Sacramento Mountain’s and Chihuahua Desert’s terrain.

My wife, Dairy Queen, has custody of their office mascot, Mort the Sasquatch, this week. We took him to his first White Sands visit. He digs the dunes.

Until I’m 6-ft under, I’ll soak in every petroglyph possible.

If you open this, the scope and scale of hiking’s Calendar Year Triple Crown becomes clearer. Looking forward to starting the odyssey.

The 8,000-mile hike draws closer. I see brutal days on the horizon, but memories remind me that the good days make the struggle worthwhile.

Living near White Sands National Park’s sunsets is stellar.
