3/20/2023 Monday
The cold was well and truly brutal last night. I woke at 4:30 very chilled. I had turned off one heater to make room to charge my cellphone. I dunno why I did that. It rather spoiled my last night. It was a fantastic few days at Nature’s Inn. Lots of good people around and Amy does a wonderful job. She’s so organized. It was something like an adult snow day, though there was no snow. It had a bit of a ski lodge atmosphere with the bitter cold outside.
I’m Doug Cloud, an inveterate thru-hiker, believer in The One Trail, writer, rhetorician, researcher. This blog catalogs my journeys, particularly my 2023 1500-mile hike on the Appalachian and Colorado Trails. Other journeys may be added. Or not. I go by several mottoes as a thru-hiker:
1. Work the problem.
2. Throw money at the problem.
3. Go for an FKT (funnest known time).
4. ABC (always be thru-hiking).
