This seems like a real long shot with as active as our hometown board is, but would anyone be interested in doing a hike along the lines of the American Battle Buddies/American Pioneer Corps?

Is this open to all or just military?

This is an everyone thing.

I have to say it looks interesting.  Good way to get out of the house and keep active.

Same thought here.  I’ve been working on my running but just jogging in circles is dead boring.  And getting to know some of the people on our quiet little board is a good side effect.

I'm interested.

On a related note, I've been doing this competition in Oklahoma the last several years.  5, 10, or 15k run combined with a 2 gun match.  You have to carry everything you want to use on the course - rifle, pistol, ammo, water, etc.  It's a great way to test your gear and your physical fitness.  They run one in the summer one in winter, and usually a night time one at some point during the year.

For the two of you, and eventually the dozens more that will be interested , what part of the state are you in so we can find a trail that's as good as we can get for everyone?

I'm in the Omaha metro.

I plan tomorrow on figuring out where and when if nothing else the three of us will hike.

Pending either of you having a conflict how about we go for Sunday, 15 Mar at 1300.  I was looking for something between Omaha and Lincoln but the Platte River State Park looks like it's still a muddy mess so I was thinking the MoPac Trail starting in Springfield for an easier first time.

Well, that's my wife's birthday so I don't think I can make it.  I could do the day before, though.

I'm off the 15th but work the 14th.

The 21st work better?

I'm off.  What time of day are you thinking?

Shoot.  I'm looking at my schedule and between work and my daughter's activities I'm pretty much booked the next two months.  3/14 and 4/11 are the only weekend days I have open.  Dad life.

I would love to go, but don't worry about me.  I'll try to get in on the next one.

1300 on the 21st.  We'll meet at the parking lot on the south side of Platteview just east of Highway 50.

I'm pretty sure that's the entry to the trail.

I'm still planning on hiking tomorrow since most of my weekend plans somehow cleared up.

I'm not going to make it.  My parents are in their 80's and I need to go over and make sure they're squared away.

No worries.  Gotta take care of what's important brother.  We'll try it again later when the world becomes less crazy.

Would have been really nice to get out for a hike and away from this shit.

I plan on rucking from the same spot this Sunday afternoon.  Not having gym time is killing me.  Saturday is going to be rainy so I'll push until Sunday.

I wanted to go last night with a friend of mine here in Lincoln, but my wife put the kibosh on it.  She is pretty adamant about staying away from other people right now.

Last week there was almost nobody on the trail and I can't imagine it will be more busy this weekend.  I promise there will be enough space to keep 6 feet in between people.

I know I'm way late to the party, but I'd be down for something sometime.
