What would an Appalachian Trail Thru-Hiker do? Yesterday when I walked in the rain, I thought about the AT hikers I read about who had rain for 20 days in a row. Today I walked 9 miles and thought, that's nothing compared to an AT thru-hiker's day. I'm sure the obsession will fade but it's pretty fun and inspiring right now. And 10 miles a day actually feels really good. I'd like to do that every day. I remember when I was a kid living in Germany, we did a lot of Volksmarches, either 10, 20, or 30 km. I remember after doing one, I seemed to have more energy and could run faster.
Anyway, I walked to and from church today, first following the bike path which I haven't done in a while, and then taking a longish detour along Starkweather Creek.
Here's the bike path:
is someone chopping this down? a beaver or human?

There are still lots of pretty flowering bushes and trees.
