Sunday, February 20th 2011 by Mr. Bill.
The last couple of weeks have been a little rough. I caught the cold/flu bug that is going around and had a hard time shaking it. So, I missed two weekends of great hiking weather. But, I was able to get in about 6 miles at Umstead State Park today (Sunday). It was good to just get out and walk a little. Tried out a new hat (very wide brim). It will take a while to get used to. 
On Wednesday I went to a free class hosted by the REI store in Cary, NC. The class subject: “Hiking the AT”. The presenter was a 2009 thru hiker, “Houdini”. She was very candid about her experiences and the gear she used. I will likey try to atttend another one of these classes to see what I missed the first time.
