It was a nice day out and flocks of people were hiking.My legs are getting stronger. Pack is holding up. Badlands 2200.I try to keep a very quick pace. Guess it is from my time in the USMC.

I'm over by Stillwater, and I've been looking for some hills to climb. I've been doing some moderate rolling hills down a dirt road by my house. I'm doing 65-70lbs in a Cache Hauler for six miles. Been working my butt off cross training, jogging and hiking. Down 30lbs. Plenty more to go though. If you ever want to get together and show me Turkey Mountain, I wouldn't mind driving over. Been wanting to check it out. [/b]
