It’s very hard to
begin a journey,
especially one that has
no destination. Indeed,
the word wanderer
may well describe the
underlying force that
drives the nomadic
people. Certainly, and
at one time, that
definition pretty much
fit the Nimblewill
Nomad. However, that
tag no longer applies,
as this old wanderer
now has goals, goals set
many trail miles back
when the realization
struck that he was well
along on hiking all 11
(at that time, eight) of
America's National
Scenic Trails. To
date, Nomad’s
trekked down nine of
them. Only two remain,
the
Ice Age and the
New England.
Over many years,
near-countless trail
miles Nimblewill’s
pretty much managed to
get his gear "stuff"
squared away. He’s got
many dear sponsors to
thank for that--the very
best gear, by the
greatest gear folks in
the world. Due to their
kindness and continued
generosity, he'll again
be carrying an
unbelievably light pack.
And so, and as you
may now well suspect,
this hiking season, good
Lord willing (he’s now
73), Nimblewill
will shoulder his pack
and head out once
more--in quest of those
final two.
He’ll be keeping
journal entries, taking
pictures and videos.
There’ll soon be an
Odyssey 2012 page here
listing a tentative
itinerary, also, his
steadfast sponsors.
Please check back often,
then plan on following
another predictably
unpredictable
Nimblewill Nomad
adventure. Sure enough,
we’ll have a great time! |
