Three days solo backpacking in Hercules Glades Wilderness, January 2024

  • Another year, same trail cairn

    Day One

    Another year, same trail cairn — I’m off out for three days, blowing away the cobwebs and walking off some holiday season excesses. Copyright © 2024 Gary Allman, all rights reserved.

    And it should also be said, I’ve still not learned to look at the lens on the cell phone. Just a short three mile hike on the cards this afternoon.

    39°F and feeling a bit chilly with a slight head wind. Two nights, three days, and a modest 13 miles. That will do for my first run out of 2024. Time to go home and trim my beard. It has done its job!
