New Goal - 70 miles on the NCT

I quit my job and they talked me into working part-time for another nine months. Before I start my part-time I requested three weeks off to clear my mind and to travel. Today was my first official day off and I needed to hike. I found part of the NCT over by Lowell and immediately felt a wave of happiness as I trekked down the buggie trail. This flash of happiness past inspired me to set a new goal for 2011. I'm going to hike a total of 70 miles on the NCT trail. The 70 won't be all at once or in the same area. It will just be the NCT trail in Michigan and a total of 70 miles before the end of the year.

I'm coming back, Nature! Mother Nature please bless me with the strength to resist any poison ivy, sumac or oak along the way.
