Let's get moving, slobs!
Note the start time, rain or shine, unless it's raining an inch an hour or more, since this is a hike and not a swim. New people are always welcome for our standard six miler (eight miles by mutual agreement), some of us are training up to 12 miles. If you're new, bring: Good shoes with good socks. Water, maybe a snack A way to carry said water or snack Flashlight/something with a light on recommended If requested, I can bring a scale to measure your loadout for reportable ruck marches for your APC ratings. If you don't know what that is, that's okay too. IM for step-off location, and the hiking routes are variable depending on the condition of the trails. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By homeyclaus: @USMC2671 @N2CH_556 @Ambridge77 how is your knee? Maybe lighter boots? It requires surgery, which I don't want... or at least anytime soon. I think I might listen to the specialist doctor for a change - Quote "Rest your leg." Easy to say for someone NOT in construction. I might try the hike, but it would be halfway at most, and on the paved trail. I grew up on the side of mountains. Not hiking wooded trails is very disappointing. |

Thanks for the @, I’m about to head down next week to Texas for a seven day class, cant swing a hike before we leave.
Hit me with a mention next time, trying to get more hikes in, and I don’t mind the drive - I have some family close by to y’all that I need to come visit soon. |

Also for Ambridge77, maybe we can get Homie Jr. to haul you along in a fireman's carry! |

Originally Posted By homeyclaus: Jr has a note from his rowing coach, not sure he'll make it. Originally Posted By mbg0001: Water rescue practice?  I ignored the doctors (plural) recommendation to stay off the leg, and afterward the knee got worse. I know far more people have worse pain, and still manage to hike. I might attempt it, but it's like the knee doesn't want to bend.  |

No need for a Radio Flyer. My doctor won't sign off on my hike. I can't afford what comes next. I hate being 50. This sucks. |

I'm sorry guys.
According to my wife, I fell asleep on the couch watching Matlock reruns while waiting for the right time to head for Hunter Mill.  I await the well deserved mockery.  ETA - My wife texted me a link to Sunrise Assisted Living Facilities.
