Like to walk or bike on a trail less traveled?
Here’s a site that offers a nationwide map of hiking, walking and cycling trails. The link I’m posting is the map view of trails near my hometown and will prompt you for a login. Before you curse hear me out.
I typically don’t post such links but…
- this view is sort of difficult to find.
- it’s run by a non-profit.
- it’s really, really cool!

It’s a Knee Again
Hopefully making my final visit to the doctor!
He Can Walk!
Well, sort of.
Eleven weeks after knee surgery I saw the doctor for my third follow-up yesterday. He finally gave me the go-ahead to begin bearing weight on my right leg! Of course after nearly 3 months on crutches it’s hard to just start walking around. I’m not even sure I remember how!
Fortunately the knee feels great. But my right foot has been out of action so long it’s almost painful to walk on! Tomorrow is my first physical therapy session with this new weight-bearing aspect thrown in. We’ll see how it goes.
This entire ordeal has been quite a learning experience. But the best part is I can finally drive!
