They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and since we have limited service and time, this post will be mainly photos.






Since our last post we've hiked all of New Jersey and New York. The terrain and trash load led to a few too many late nights but overall NY and NJ were absolutely amazing. The combination of  open fields, steep rocky climbs and scenic rock exposures kept smiles on our faces. We are currently in Kent, CT and hope to be in Vermont within a week. We still can not thank everyone enough for the continued encouragement and support. It keeps us motivated even on the toughest of days. Thank you all so much!


Cheers,
Cap

Ultimate Long Distance Hiking Shoe I'll just go ahead and be frank; I may have an addiction to footwear.

It seems each shoe has a specific job, but more often than not I find myself using one shoe for everything. Does anyone else find themselves doing this!? During long distance hiking efforts, o The Lone Peak is the one shoe we see most often on the Pacific Crest Trail. We literally starting chanting "Follow Altra" at one point because you could always predict which way the trail went by the Altra marks in the dirt. Paul and I have worn the Lone Peak 2.5, 3.0, and 3.0 mid tops and can't say enough about them! I wanna focus this discussion on these three things: fit, durability and function. The combination of these three qualities can either make or break a shoe, and in regard to the Lone Peak, these qua...

A Farewell to the Desert

We're off to see the Lizard, the wonderful Lizard of Mojav, EH! Hello again! We've been singing that jingle to the sound of the Wizard of Oz for a few weeks now and figured we had to share. Our days in the desert are coming to an end soon and I feel the need to share some of what we learned while living in this powerful landscape. We have experienced weather of all sorts - much of which was unexpected, we learned how to thrive from the animals - primarily lizards, and have been awed as well as attacked by plants - quite literally. The very thought of a desert conjures thoughts of extreme heat and sun exposure for many, although for some folks it even comes to mind as quite cold and even snowy. It all depends on the time of day and elevation. In our month of desert travel we have experienced windless 100 degree days, waterless expanses stretching over 40 miles, windy nights below freezing that left our tents coated with ice and hoarfrost, and even thunder-snowstorms that we w...
