Thru-Hiker Slang
Inspired by Dan’s comment last week, I’ve decided to do a post on the terms thru-hikers use on the trail when chatting with other thru-hikers. This is not an exhaustive list, but I think...

Today I delve a little more deeply into the Santa Fe to Taos Trail. Since Pam Neely, the trail founder, has neatly laid out various itineraries in her guidebook, I have chosen her 12...
Santa Fe to Taos Trail
Also known as the SF2T, it is a trail that, unsurprisingly, starts at the main plaza in Santa Fe, NM, climbs up and over the 12,000-foot Sangre de Cristo Mountains, and, after 132 miles,...
Flu
The freight train, that is Influenza A, barreled into my life around 11 p.m. a week ago, Saturday, and that’s when my up close and very personal schooling on the flu began. Over the...

Over the last week, I’ve looked through trail descriptions, blogs, guidebooks, and a bunch of internet sites trying to find some interesting trails to hike this year. Part of me wants to just go...

Dude! Don’t fall down! We have lots to do and we can’t have you limping. Yes. I know this is helpful.
Great! Now you tell me. Where were you when I was running down to the basement! 😁
Geez, I hate that business of falling on concrete. Pretty. hard stuff! I’m sorry it hurts when you crouch down and I suggest you not do that.
Thanks, Cappuccino, Good advice. I wish I’d thought of that.😀
You are one tough dude! I’m not surprised SlowBro – 1 Concrete Step – 0. I appreciate the shout out for the return of the comments section. Though we’ve had lots of Christmas/New Year rain in the weeks before we arrived in SB, it’s sunshine, buttercups, and rainbows since. Friday Hannah and I hike the East Fork of the Cold Spring Trail, the one you and I hiked. We’ll see if the raging creek allows us to cross.
Thanks, Dan. I moved the blog over to WordPress.com , which I believe is where you host your blog (over60hiker.wordpress.com). Going to let the folks at WordPress worry about keeping my site running. I’ve retired from that business. At least that’s the hope.😀
And best of luck on your Cold Springs hike Friday.🤞
We have a dangerously steep basement stair case. And I am opting for a foam pad on the concrete wall at the bottom. Feel better soon.
Hey Sue! Brilliant idea. Ours is not all that steep, but I think that makes it even more dangerous. Rather than being cautious, like on your dangerously steep stairway, I was lulled into a false sense of security, and of course was in a hurry and took the steps too fast. You live and learn. Or, at any rate, you live.😀
