From North to South

Amy's ramblings. Once upon a time these ramblings pertained to my 5 months in Guatemala and Honduras. Then they followed the ebb and flow of my final semester in Alaska. From there things really went south ... to Argentina, Bolivia and Chile. After 8 months in the Andes, I fell back under Alaska's spell … working at a newspaper and wandering mountains. Now I'm somewhat south again ... in Jackson Hole, WY, teaching ski school on the clock and making fresh tracks off the clock.

Not quite steel-toed boots ...

A couple of weekends ago Zippy and I cruised out of town to hike Mount Taylor. When I got to the trail head, I realized, with an ugh, that I had left my shoes at home. Unwilling to return to the hustle and bustle of town, I examined my options and realized I had only one ... make the 10-mile, several thousand foot hike in flip flops ... so that's what I did. Somehow I managed to keep my battle wounds limited to blisters on the balls of my feet.

There may be something to barefoot hiking and running ... certainly a day out in flip flops worked different muscles than I'm used to using.
