Death March 2118 planned for March 24 - April 2

I have a trek planned for the end of the month, we will be wandering into a canyon that, through our research should yield many wonderful discoveries.

I am hoping for lots of blood and sweat, cuts and abrasions left along the trail, this should be a real " Who's dumb ass idea was this ? " hike.

Walking: the most ancient exercise and still the best modern exercise.

I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.
Henry David Thoreau

Returning home is the most difficult part of long-distance hiking; You have grown outside the puzzle and your piece no longer fits.
Cindy Ross

The long distance hiker, a breed set apart,
From the likes of the usual pack.
He’ll shoulder his gear, be hittin’ the trail;
Long gone, long ‘fore he’ll be back.
M.J. Eberhart

Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts.
