Wow, I really didn't plan to take a three month break from this, but you know how life intrudes on the blog world at time. Nothing major to report, just the usual getting up-going to work-coming home-running errands-family stuff going on.

As it stands at the moment, I am planning to to finish the walk this coming Spring. I had dreams of doing it in just a few weeks after I had to stop, but that obviously didn't happen. It took me something like four or five weeks for my feet to totally heal. They looked like a moulting snake for a long time.

My plan for now is to finish the trail next spring. The new extension to Machens is almost done, from what I have been told, so that will add about another 13 miles to the trip, but what the heck, that only makes it 74 in total for me to do. I understand that they are working on an extension from Windsor to southern parts of Kansas City. That is a ways off, but that will probably be another 60 to 80 miles. I had better get cracking on this before I get too old!

Well, I don't know if anyone is reading this, but I will try to update this a little more often. Cheers!
