Was a 12 hour drive to get there but glad I did this trail last month and added a couple days to explore all the nooks and crannies. A real picturesque coastline, especially the middle parts past Coves. Your shots capture the memories well, thanks! Getting into the 60s and all the abuse on my joints is making it tricky. As kids we'd practically play in traffic and thought we were indestructable. My kids are much more careful with their bodies, much smarter than we were that way. I guess bad influences can be good influences!
Great video. I attempted the Colorado Trail this summer. I did a lot of work on dehydrating my own food, especially vegetables and good quality meat. I can't believe what I see some thru hiking TH-camrs eating! The video clips at the end were a beautiful bonus. Thank you for sharing.
You are a positive inspiration. I am so impressed by your command of the English language and your cognition I assure you is on point. Watching you helps me to stay focused on the positive and what really matters. Especially at this time of widespread anti-intellectualism and hatred as people seem to be willing to be led like sheep to the slaughter.
@cecilchappell3283 At my age, I have seen a lot of crazy but just when you think it can't get any crazier someone ups the game. That's when I take a long hike out of cell tower range. Keep Smilin'
Great topic! You're really an inspiration for my wife and I (in our early 40s) to keep active and proof that we can keep enjoying our favorite hobbies of hiking and backpacking as we grow older.
If you pick the wrong trail, maybe choose to wear the wrong footwear for that trail, hiking can also definitely take a toll on your body. I completed Pennsylvania’s Black Forest Trail a few weeks ago and I’m still feeling repetitive stress injuries on my feet. “Rocksylvania” is beautiful, but no joke on the feet.
Carrots and bananas always disappear quickly at a trail magic stop. Us aging hikers just learn to listen to that part of ourselves a little better than the youthful hikers. You’ve got a great channel with a lot of great tips. I’d like to see more about those homemade walking sticks you designed but don’t use much anymore- I always think those things could be way more useful than they are with a little bit of creativity
So so pretty… ❤ Michigan

@DDF1408 Yes, we lived in the days before helmets. At least that's my excuse. Keep Smilin'

@@andymytys Yes, some trails are physically more challenging than others. Variety is the spice of life. Keep Smilin'

@@ajschiessl2162 The Pole Vaults worked well for me, but I found that I really didn't need the extra storage for the weight addition. Keep Smilin'
A lot less sleepy than Joe, and a lot less Orange than Trump. Ahead of the game for your age, and an example of what is possible for the rest of us!
