I have ended up in something of a sour mood today.
So I’m reading online about “fastpacking” which is just
hiking really fast with a very light pack. Some people even do it running.
Reading about this stuff always makes me feel better because I want to do it
and reading about it tickles the parts of my brain that look forward to doing
things out in the world. Right now I’m reading about the Trans-Catalina Trail
which runs the length of the island of Catalina from end to end. The trail is
37.2 miles long but if you’re hiking it you’re going to do more than fifty
miles on foot. In four days. I’m in a place today where that sounds awesome. Am
I in good enough shape to do that? No way. Do I have the right gear for it?
Nope. Is there 49% of me that would like to wake up tomorrow and drive down to
the ferry and head out? You betcha.
This is a picture from Parson’s Landing when I went to
Catalina in 2011.
