Still thinking about the Big Sky alternative route.
Moved
My online trail journal has moved to:
Since I own adrr.com that seemed like a good move.
Back to Pennsylvania.
Duncannon to Delaware Water Gap.
That gets us to 1296 to 1653 to finish the trail. After this section we will have only 360 miles or so to finish.
Below freezing tonight, but warming is promised.

Been a great section. Good to see John Monk again.
Blog moved
My hiking blog moved from here to http://adrr.com/d20.
Interestingly enough, Wikipedia (at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_R._Marsh) decided to revert the information about the correct link to the wrong information (this link) on the entry they have for me.
So, I’m restating that the proper url has changed — figure I might as well put an entry here (which is the wrong link) that will refer people to the right link since Wikipedia isn’t interested in that information being available.
As to D&D material, some samples of what I’ve been working on recently:

Just for anyone who is interested.
Also, I started wargames and related things when I was living in Las Vegas, playing 1914 with Bill Woodward, a friend of mine, not later after we moved to Mountain Home.
Just thought I’d correct the record where I could.
Sun gloves.
A big change as we get ready for the PCT is sun protection, including sun gloves. I’ve gotten a little sun burn on my hands on the AT (Appalachian Trail) but it was transitory.
My daughter Rachel sent me a pair of https://www.amazon.com/Outdoor-Research-Active-Spectrum-Gloves/dp/B01N3R2KLW for Father’s Day.
Now I need to get used to wearing them.
[update] February 28, 2023. [update] I did get used to them. Not only do they provide sun protection but they reduced blisters on those days when I ended up hiking over 20 miles. When we return to the trail on April 13, 2023, I have a new pair ready to go.

I’ve moved my blog to http://adrr.com/d20
No advertisements, no charges, part of my personal web domain adrr,com.
This was a fun experiment but free and under my complete control trumps everything else.
In the 100 mile wilderness
My post about the summit is in Internet limbo.
However, we are on our way. Mile 44 southbound. Saw Ninja Mouse, Jellyfish and Robot among others so far in the wilderness.
[turns out this post from late August just surfaced]
Hot Springs, North Carolina.
Yes. A bit of a day from Max Patch to Hot Springs. Today we take a zero and let the rain fall. :).
[the other post that just surfaced. Obviously now way out of chronological order].
More statistics.
It is fun to see statistical surveys.

I’m currently back to my less than $10 inflatable pillow.
