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."
