Big Bird's Adventures

It’s March the 25th and my original start date was March 8th. What am I talking about? Last year I did a big Bike About (Actually I did two bike abouts, one was just a week) across most of the country. I called it “Bike About 2025“. This year my plan was a big Walk About starting at the Southern end of the Appalachian Trail in Georgia and lasting as long as I want to keep hiking. Yes, I am guilty of procrastination, and yes, it was a pretty nice Winter for snowshoeing and so there were plenty of distractions. Also I have some personal things going on which require attention and I have been slow in dealing with all of them and that is the main reason for my delay. As I was getting a grip on those things a “Help Please!” plea came from daughter #2 in Bend Oregon. Apparently when Day Care mentioned that they observed the standard Spring Break, my daughter and son-in-law weren’t listening and they needed help looking after Roman during that week, which when the message came to me (Thursday) was the following week. So I delay further and write this now from Bend Oregon where I will be until this Sunday. I still have to pay my taxes, though the paperwork is mostly complete.
