Odyssey 2008 Coming In Spring


On April 21st Nimblewill Nomad embarked on yet another journey -- o'er the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail (PCT). This trek, he'll be hiking with Dan Sheltowee Rogers and Kevin Slider Reardon. Both will be assisted by Gordon Smith, also a long-distance hiker, who, along with sister, Sue Ellen Lockwood, transcontinental trekker, now deceased, has provided trek support to hikers for many years.

This journey will prove very special, for upon completion (good Lord willin', he'll turn 70 this year) will the name Nimblewill Nomad be written to that short list of intrepid who've completed the Triple Crown, the three premier U.S. trails. They are the Appalachian, the Continental Divide, and the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trails.

Please take a moment to check out the Odyssey 2008 main page. There you'll find Nimblewill's Itinerary, his Sponsors, a very detailed map of the magnificent places Nomad will see this journey, his Gear List, Journal entries, and some pretty amazing pictures.

Of particular interest, take a look at the Nomad's completely revised GEAR LIST. For previous odyssey, his pack consistently tipped the scales at or below ten pounds, (food and water excepted). For this odyssey, and with the aid of some great new sponsors, Nimblewill has been able to reduce his packweight to below seven pounds!

"Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though I oft have passed them by,
A day will come at last when I
Shall take the hidden paths that run
West of the Moon, East of the Sun."

 

 

[J.R.R. Tolkien]
